The Forehead

The Forehead has done it. Except if you consider playoff touchdowns, which the NFL doesn't do for records. One game of keep away resembling a dad trying to get his car keys later, and that ball is headed straight for Canton. With 44 players catching a touchdown from this future hall inductee, I wanted to show you some facts about the record.

This record has only been broken 8 times since 1950, with the earliest record being 187 TD's by Sammy Baugh. It is possible that this record will be broken in the near future, as the two closest candidates are Drew Brees and Thomas Edward Patrick Brady, who are 135 and 133 TD's away respectively. Drew Brees, if he plays until the age of 39, would need to average around 40 touchdowns a season for the next 3 seasons, which does seem plausible. Tom Brady is two years older and needs two more touchdowns, which makes his situation a little less likely than Brees's.
A rather likely candidate to break the record in the future is Lions gunslinger Matt Stafford, who if he plays 12 more seasons would need to only average 32 more TD's a season to break the record.

11 of the receivers Peyton passed to were in his 3 years with the Broncos, which I believe help solidifies his greatness. His ability to pick apart the defenses with the Broncos is honestly a joy to watch. While he doesn't ever impress with his physical skills, his ability to decipher and destroy opposing defenses is second to none.
