In 2000 Marhsall Faulk set the record for most TDs in a season. In 2003 Priest Holmes broke it. In 2005 Shaun Alexander broke it. In 2006 Ladanian Tomlinson broke it.

Anyone who has been a serious NFL fan for the past 10 years should remember the Volek stretch and definitely should remember the TD record progression.

FWIW I did a trivia thread a while back and one of the questions was who had the most yards in their first 10 starts in the past 25 years. There were some other hard questions, but none of them took as long as it took people to get Volek right.

Yeah I'll give you that most people should know about the TDs...still kinda amazing though.
