MOST PASS COMPLETIONS IN AN NFL SEASON (2016) Drew Brees has proven himself to be one of the best passers in the history of the NFL. During a January 1, 2017 game against the Atlanta Falcons, a team that Brees seems to set a lot of records or reach milestones against, Brees hit running back Travaris Cadet with a 3-yard pass in the 4th quarter of a 38–32 loss. The completion, with 45 seconds left in the game, gave Brees a career single-season record of 471 completions, surpassing his own record of 468 yards that he set in 2011. In fact, Brees holds six of the top ten single-season totals for passing completions, including the top three positions.

In a January 1, 2017, regular season finale against the Atlanta Falcons, Drew Brees completes his record-setting 471st pass for the season, a 3-yard, 4th-quarter pass to RB Travaris Cadet.
