Peyton Manning set the NFL’s new all-time record for career touchdown passes. He threw his 509th completed touchdown pass to teammate Demaryius Thomas on home turf at Denver’s Sports Authority Field at Mile High Stadium during the Oct 19 Broncos versus San Francisco 49ers match-up (the Broncos won the game 42-17), beating the previous record set by Brett Farve.
