Brady will enter the game needing 68 yards to surpass Brees’ mark of 80,358.
Adam Schefter of ESPN clarified that New England will not conduct a ceremony for Brady if/when he breaks the record.

Brady arrived in Providence, R.I., on Saturday night to a crowd of adoring, cheering fans, as well as multiple local media members.
