Tom Brady hits 50,000-yard mark

— -- FOXBOROUGH, Mass. --  New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady eclipsed the 50,000-yard mark for his career on Sunday night against the visiting Cincinnati Bengals.

A 27-yard connection to tight end Rob Gronkowski in the first quarter helped Brady become just the sixth player in NFL history to reach 50,000.

The crowd chanted "Brady! Brady! Brady!" multiple times in the first quarter as the Patriots raced out to an early lead and the Patriots noted the milestone on the videoboard.

Brett Favre (71,838), Peyton Manning (65,779), Dan Marino (61,361), Drew Brees (52,284), John Elway (51,475) and Brady top the all-time charts.
