          I just pulled out the calculator to get the latest update on Drew Brees' pace as he chases Dan Marino’s record for passing yards in a season (5,084).

          Brees has 4,368 yards through 13 games. That’s an average of 336 yards per game.

          If Brees stays on that pace, he’ll shatter Marino’s record. Brees would finish the regular season with 5,376 yards.
