Peyton Manning gave us all another iconic sports moment on Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers when he broke the league record for career touchdown passes with his 509th TD on an eight-yard throw to Demaryius Thomas. It was truly magical, and you could tell how happy his teammates and even the Niners were for the hardest working QB in NFL history. Manning should go down as the best to ever chuck a football due to these five reasons.

There were talking heads who called Manning the greatest QB ever before he came back from neck fusion surgery that many thought he'd never recover from. "I certainly didn't think this would even be a possibility a couple of years ago," Manning said after the game.

Tom Brady still has more rings, but Manning should get one step closer this postseason while leading the Broncos to a Super Bowl victory. Brady, on the other hand, will never win another Vince Lombardi Trophy.

This statistic adjusts for inflation over different eras of football and measures the number of TDs a quarterback added to his team over what an average QB would manage. Manning leads this category all-time by a wide margin and his career is not quite done yet.

Before Manning started his career, it was not that common to see audibles at the line of scrimmage. He has turned that aspect of football into an absolute art form, and it is now a normal occurrence throughout the league.
