NFL Records
This article rates the Top 10 seasons overall by individual players. I thought it was kind of interesting and puts the Pats individual records (Brady and Moss) into perspective that most people miss (Brady's season vs. Marino and Peyton and Moss vs. Rice). I'm not knocking their ridiculous numbers this year. They are impressive. But I will point out that they wouldn't have been anywhere close without all the running up the score that Peyton (had almost 100 less attempts than Brady) or Rice (set the then record of 22 in 12 games b/c of strike-shortened season) didn't do. The most impressive, to me, is #10. Reggie White had 21 sacks in the 12 game season in 87. 21! In 12 games! I'm pretty sure if that season hadn't been shortened, Strahan and Moss would be distant seconds to White and Rice.
