It was announced way before the game that if the record was broken at a non-critical point in a game (Atlanta or Carolina) that the game would be halted and Brees given the ball. This was okayed in advance by the league office. The same thing happened when Emmitt Smith broke the rushing record and I am pretty sure the same thing happened when Rice broke the TD record.
