It's also why Dave Hampton didn't get much of a chance to get back to 1,000, since the Falcons had to try to win the game. Hampton made exactly 1,000 on the second play of the 4th quarter. The Falcons then punted. The Chiefs ran a nine play drive and also punted. There were still over 9 minutes to g...

Snead only started 2 games for the 1971 Vikings. I wouldn't count him. Otherwise, John Hadl for Lynn Dickey would also count.

Steve Ramsey and Craig Morton were traded for each other after the 1976 season. Both were starters for the Broncos and Giants respectively, though Ramsey was benched near the end of the season. Morton made it to the Super Bowl, and Ramsey didn't make the Giants. Jim Ninowski and Milt Plum were trade...

Does anyone know where the 655 yards in sack yardage stands entering 2026? Is it close to being the record?

Thank you.

1986 Eagles had 706 yards.

Also the pad around the goalpost standard.

I'd have to run the odds but I think the Steelers never making a championship game until 1974 would probably be worse.

Given that in the pre Super Bowl days a lot of times they were only one of six teams, whereas the Lions are now one of sixteen.

Well, we almost had ourselves a Mark Sanchez/Caleb Hanie Showdown in 2010! https://profootballresearchers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=47185&hilit=Hanie#p47185 How about Tony Eason-Dieter Brock in 1985? If the Rams somehow manage to beat the Bears (50 mph winds in Chicago make for a goofy game?) c...

Staubach was more of a big play QB, not really like Montana or even Bart Starr. The big play part worked well as a contrast to Landry. I don't like the 1972 Cowboys that much. I don't even think they could have beaten the 1972 Packers in the playoffs. Because Landry never would have done the five ma...

Jim McMahon with the Packers.

Good opinions, though I think the Cowboys win. Munoz and Martin would have had a great matchup but I dont think the Bengals contain Jones and White. You have to account for Pearson, Hill and Dorsett on defense as well, which would have been alot. The Chargers I feel, could move on Dallas or SF but ...
