Tom Brady's 500th TD is the first Patriots TD for Josh Gordon

Tom Brady threw his 500th career touchdown pass on Thursday night in the New England Patriots’ 38-24 victory against the Indianapolis Colts, becoming the third player in NFL history to do so.

Midway through the fourth quarter, Brady launched the ball 34 yards deep into the end zone at Gillette Stadium on what looked like a long shot. Wide receiver Josh Gordon jumped through two Colts defenders and expertly snagged the ball, coming down with his first touchdown in New England and marking Brady’s 500th.

With Gordon’s score, Brady has thrown a touchdown to 71 different receivers — the most by any quarterback in NFL history. He has joined Peyton Manning (539) and Brett Favre (508) as the only three quarterbacks to reach the 500 mark. New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees needs just four more touchdown passes to reach that mark, too.
