Tom Brady has moved closer towards another NFL record, albeit one he probably isn't thrilled about having. During Sunday's game against the Falcons, Brady moved past John Elway as the second-most sacked quarterback in NFL history. Brady, who has been taken down 519 times during his 21-year career, is now behind only Brett Favre on the all-time list. Favre, whose 297 consecutive starts under center is an NFL record, was sacked 525 times during his 20-year career. He has since been inducted in Canton, Ohio. 

Brady passed Elway on the all-time list after he was taken down by Falcons linebacker Deion Jones with 13:51 remaining in the second quarter. The sack helped set up Matt Ryan's 12-yard touchdown pass to Calvin Ridley, as the Falcons extended their lead to 14-0. Despite the early deficit, the Buccaneers rallied to defeat Atlanta, 31-27. Brady played an essential role in the comeback, as he threw for 390 yards that included second-half touchdown passes to Chris Godwin and Antonio Brown

Entering Sunday, the other active quarterbacks who are in the top 25 on this list include Ben Roethlisberger (who is fourth all-time with 514 sacks), Aaron Rodgers (ninth, 466), Philip Rivers (t-10th, 458), Alex Smith (12th, 429), Drew Brees (t-13th, 417), Matt Ryan (17th, 402), Russell Wilson (21st, 387) and Matthew Stafford (22nd, 384). 

While Brady may soon become the NFL's most sacked quarterback of all-time, he is also second all-time in career passing yards, as he is now less than 2,000 yards behind Brees, who is playing on Sunday for the first time since sustaining broken ribs and a partially collapsed lung back in Week 10. Brady has passed Brady for No. 1 all-time with 571 touchdown passes, a record Brady is hoping to add to during the final few weeks of the regular season. 

Brady is also looking to help lead the Buccaneers to their first playoff berth since 2008. While its hopes of winning the NFC South have all but vanished, Tampa Bay (9-5) would be the sixth seed in the playoffs started today.
