Record Breaking Predictions

This season, there are a few records in the NFL that I believe will fall. Perhaps the most obvious is Dan Marino’s 420 passing TD which has already been tied by Brett Farve. Unless Brett suffers an injury, this record being broken is a sure thing. Farve is also 3,000 yards shy of Marino’s yardage record of 61,361. This record will be a lot harder to break for Farve, but it’s still possible given Farve’s recent level of play. He needs to throw for 3000 yards in the remaining 13 games by completing on average 230 yards a game, that’s possible if he can stay consistent. Another record I believe has the possibility of being broken is the 49 touchdowns in a season set by Peyton Manning. Who’s the player to break the record this year? Tom Brady of course. I hate the Patriots but I’m able to recognize greatness when I see it. With Randy Moss and Donte Stallworth as new receiving options, Brady should have no problem surpassing Manning for the top spot in a season. He has 10 tosses in 3 games, putting him on record to reach 53 or 54 this season. The only question would be if this sort of pace can be held throughout the entire season. The record for most touchdowns in a season is also in jeopardy if Rand Moss can keep up his pace for the season. He’s averaging 1.66 touchdowns a game which would yield in the range of 26 grabs a year. The record is currently held by none other than Jerry Rice at 22 in a season. One shameful record that will be broken this year is George Blanda’s 277 interceptions over a career. This record will also be broken by Brett Farve who currently has 275 interceptions is his long career.
