Although I, once again, think this may be hollow or meaningless because of the Saints' record, it's my duty to update you on where New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees stands in the race for all-time passing yards in a season. Brees has built a lead on record-setter Dan Marino and every other quarterback who has gotten off to a hot start.

Here's where Brees ranks through 10 games, compared to the rest of history:
