Only five NFL players have hit milestone Tom Brady reached Sunday

On Sunday against the New York Jets, Brady continued to climb the ranks of all-time greats to play quarterback in the NFL. With a second-quarter completion to Danny Amendola, Brady became just the fifth player in NFL history to reach 55,000 passing yards.
