Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning set the NFL’s all-time passing yards record on Sunday with just over 10 minutes remaining in the first quarter against the Chiefs, bringing him to 71,840 career yards.

The 39-year-old’s four-yard completion to Ronnie Hillman took him past former Green Bay great Brett Favre, who had been the NFL’s all-time passing leader for 7 years, 10 months and 29 days.

It was a mixed day for Manning who had four passes intercepted and was benched in the final quarter as the Broncos eventually lost the match 29-13 at the Sports Authority Field.
