INTRODUCTION
RECORDS ARE MADE TO BE BROKEN
Football is a marvelous game. Football players have amazing speed and power. The passing, receiving, rushing, and tackling thrill huge crowds. Stadiums echo with the cheers of roaring fans. Even the ball is unique. No other sport is quite like football.
One of the best things about the game is watching the breathtaking athletes and their performances on the field. And just when you think you’ve seen it all—another star tops it. That must be why the old saying, Records are made to be broken,
rings true.
But for a few moments, before they’re broken again, we can enjoy the record-setting accomplishments in the sport. From the greatest Hail Mary touchdowns and fourth quarter comebacks to bone-crushing sacks and Super Bowl rings—the best of the best is right here at your fingertips. Get ready to be thrilled and amazed by football’s biggest record-setting plays and playmakers.

Chapter One
BIG-TIME PASSERS
When the center snaps the ball, 22 players on the field burst into action. But who holds the ball in those first moments after it’s snapped? Who hands it off or throws it? Who sneaks the ball through the line to get that final yard? That’s right—the quarterback. Many of football’s most amazing moments have featured the greatest signal callers in the biz.
Brees or Brady?
Brees or Brady? Brady or Brees? You really can’t go wrong either way. Having played nearly identical years as pros, Drew Brees and Tom Brady have a lot in common. Brady came into the National Football League (NFL) in 2000. Brees arrived in 2001. Both have had incredibly successful careers.
Two teams in a football league. Tom Brady attempts to pass the ball to his team members. The other team members race toward him.On February 7, 2021, Tom Brady led the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to win his seventh career Super Bowl championship.
Football is a very physical sport. It wears down the body of every player. Quarterbacks often take some of the most violent hits. So for Brady and Brees to continue playing as elite quarterbacks into their 40s is an amazing achievement. Both QBs are big-time winners.
