Which NFL quarterback currently holds the Super Bowl record for most completions in a row?
Super Bowl XLVI was the first Super Bowl with two starting quarterbacks who previously won the big game's MVP award. Eli Manning became the first QB to open a Super Bowl with nine consecutive completions.
On the Patriots’ touchdown drive to open the third quarter, Brady’s 16 straight completions broke the longest streak in Super Bowl history. Tom surpassed Hall of Fame QB Joe Montana, who previously set the mark with 13 consecutive connections in the 49ers’ 55-10 win over the Broncos in Super Bowl XXIV.
The Giants went on to defeat the Patriots 21-17 and win their 4th Super Bowl.

Needs to be updated! This question has been outdated for a few years now.

F' Brady. Drew Brees now stands alone in one category of NFL history.
The New Orleans Saints quarterback set the record Sunday for most pass completions in a career, eclipsing Brett Favre's previous mark of 6,300.
Brees broke the record with a connection with wide receiver Michael Thomas in the second quarter against the Atlanta Falcons.
Sunday might only be one of the first steps in what is shaping up to be a historic season for Brees. The 39-year-old signal-caller entered the day just 813 yards away from breaking Peyton Manning's record for career passing yardage (71,940). He also was tied with Tom Brady for most passing touchdowns (493) but will be hard-pressed to overtake Manning (539) for the top mark.
