NFL-Broncos' Manning breaks NFL's all-time passing yards record

Nov 15 (Reuters) - Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning passed Brett Favre to become the National Football League's all-time leader in passing yardage on Sunday. Manning, who started Sunday's game versus the Kansas City Chiefs three yards shy of the all-time mark of 71,838 yards, broke the record after completing a four-yard pass to Ronnie Hillman in the first quarter. After saluting the home crowd, the 39-year-old quarterback tossed the souvenir ball to the Denver sideline for safe keeping. (Reporting by Frank Pingue in Toronto; editing by Justin Palmer)
