Peyton Manning is all over the NFL record books when it comes to career passing statistics, but there is one record he holds that he really hopes will be broken.

Manning threw 28 interceptions during his rookie season with the Indianapolis Colts in 2003, which is the most in a single season by a rookie. Manning played in all 16 games that season as his Colts struggled to a 3-13 record. Though he tossed 28 picks, it wasn’t all bad for Manning, who also passed for 3,739 yards and 26 touchdowns.

But Manning keeps a good sense of humor about the mark and is hoping it will finally be broken by a rookie. He talked about the matter during a visit with “Bussin’ With the Boys” last month.

He joked that it’s amazing the record hasn’t been broken yet, especially considering there’s an extra regular season game.

“Which is amazing with 17 games now. Mahomes is breaking every other record. Why can’t we break that record? The problem is, when they struggle early with picks, they take them out. Leave ’em in there. Let ’em learn!” Manning joked.

Peyton also joked that his brother Eli would have broken the record easily, but he only played in six games as a rookie.

Manning has that joking routine down perfectly. He said similar things in May , but his comedic delivery has definitely improved.
