Tom Brady became the latest quarterback to hit this milestone during Week 15 of the 2018-19 season.
The New England Patriots quarterback passed the 70,000-passing yard mark with an 8-yard completion to Rex Burkhead in the third quarter against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Brady needed 141 passing yards in Pittsburgh to reach the milestone. The 41-year-old QB finished with 279 yards and exited the game with 70,138 career passing yards.
