LOS ANGELES (AFP) — Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford threw for four touchdowns against the Minnesota Vikings to become the fastest National Football League player to reach 40,000 career passing yards.
Stafford broke Matt Ryan’s record as he entered the home game against Minnesota needing 87 yards to reach the milestone.
He passed Ryan with a 36-yard completion to receiver Danny Amendola in the opening quarter of a 42-30 loss at Ford Field.
The 31-year-old Stafford, who completed 30 of 45 passes for 364 yards, did it in his 147th game, compared to Atlanta’s Ryan, who needed 151 games.
Stafford was also the fastest to hit other milestones of 15,000, 20,000, 25,000 and 30,000 yards.
