If my mind is telling me right, Dan the man surpassed the 40,000-yard passing mark. Not that it was part of the question, but I believe he did this against the Jets but the Jets won that game.

Dan Marino surpasses the 40,000-yard passing mark during Miami's 24-14 loss to the N.Y. Jets. He joins Fran Tarkenton (47,003), Dan Fouts (43,040) and Johnny Unitas (40,239) as the only quarterbacks to gain 40,000 passing yards. Marino attains the 40,000-yard mark in only 153 regular-season games and accomplishes the feat faster than any QB in league history. The previous record for fastest ascent to 40,000 yards was 168 games by Dan Fouts.
