Top 10 Single Season Performances

This list breaks down the ten single season performances in NFL history. This episode originally aired in 2007.

[@joegrist1108]

This show needs to come back. Enough time has passed to have tons of content.

[@AmirKhan-yv8jm]

One suggestion: Top 10 Offensive Lines!

[@salvatoresultana4058]

It's weird to think that Jerry Rice, Randy Moss, Ray Lewis, Reggie White, Deion Sanders, Ronnie Lott, all never won an MVP because of their position, but Mark Moseley won an MVP at kicker.

[@nicholasadams2374]

RIGHT!!!!! Moseley was certainly MVP of the team, but MVP of the league is a stretch.

[@fortynights1513]

@@nicholasadams2374 The MVP wasn’t deserved or anything. But that said, Moseley in 82 is probably the most impactful season of play by a kicker towards winning that there is.

[@fortynights1513]

In my opinion, it should be impossible for the offensive player of the year to also be MVP, or a quarterback, so that way we could have a way to give an individual accolade for non quarterbacks in modern times.

[@leltonfowler4895]

[@timothywayne3813]

Honorable mention: 1982's strike shortened season only had nine games, but the Chargers' Wes Chandler managed to surpass 1,000 yards (1,032) and average 129 yards per game which is still an NFL record.

[@pooryorick831]

These lists always overlook the Chargers.

[@MRB16th]

As a comparison, if this rate was kept for the current season of 17 games, this would give 2193 yards (breaking Eric Dickerson's 1984 record).

[@timothywayne3813]

@@MRB16th Yes, but Dickerson's record would still stand because that was for rushing, not receiving. Now that the NFL has gone to 17 games all single season records are in jeopardy.

[@MRB16th]

@@timothywayne3813 OK, that was my mistake: I may have been a bit carried away over the 129 yards per game. Still, it is true that single-season records are in jeopardy.

[@rufuspipemos]

Great call, Tim!

[@brasspick]

If the Falcons' offense had been consistent and kept their D off the field more, the points against might've been much lower than 129.

[@conniethesconnie]

Just proof that you need a good all around team to win. Can't only go so far only being good on one side of the ball.

[@good03boy]

@Fries I think that Bill Belichick would've figured out a way to get past that Grits Blitz defense.

[@WearingGoldluck]

Looks like some new additions might have to be made soon, Paytons 55 TD season, Lamar Jacksons 3000/1000 season, the most recent 1000/1000 club member McCaffery, and Calvin Johnson’s 1900 yard season. Edit: I think we add Cooper Kupp's 2022 season if for nothing else than he had 1900 yards on SEVENTY-FIVE% catch percentage. You could also add 2021 Aaron Rodgers with 48 TD's with only 5 INT's which is super impressive.

[@timrobbins7030]

Just ask that small d#%k, wannabe dictator-Cuomo in NYC. 2nd highest death rate of anywhere on earth,& caught violating his own rules..yet celebrated by media sycophants, including his own brother. All us regular rubes, have to live by their rules-some reasonable, but many ridiculous, but the elites get different rules. Just like Santa Clara county where the 49ers,& Stanford-have to move out of the state. Despite the NFL's top doctor saying there hasn't been 1 case on earth, of someone contracting COVID, on the athletic field-indoor, or outdoor. And of all these athletes whove tested positive, has 1 of them been hospitalized..let alone died? Not that I know of.The rest of us have to stay home (understandable to a point),& watch top 10 lists, but the politicians get to do whatever the f#&k they want, flagrantly violate their own dictates,& increase their power/feed their ego..using COVID as an excuse. And Im not a COVID denier..it is real. I support wearing masks, social distancing, ect. I have 2 elderly uncles, who died from COVID. (1directly, 1 indirect) But no doubt, some of these scumbag, wannabe dictator politicians are using this shit as an excuse to increase their power, take our rights,& punish their critics.

[@Gungho73]

When Largent broke his TD record it was like wow. That record felt untouchable. And he could've put it out of reach for awhile longer had the Pack wanted to pay him. Putting him next to his eras contemporaries statistics wise is insane. Putting what he did into context in any era seems absurd. When he left, the Packers wandered as an organization.

[@fortynights1513]

@@Gungho73 Not only that, but he also held the records for receptions and receiving yards when he retired, and held them until the next great Packer receiver, Billy Howton passed them in 1962 (possibly their best player in the 50’s).

[@Gungho73]

@@fortynights1513 Didn't know that about Howton actually! Yeah the general public doesn't understand how absurdly far beyond Hutson was to everyone in the league in that point. The Packers didn't want to pay him and granted he was getting later in his career but you could feel the shift the second that decision was made. Few decisions in history can be immediately linked to a franchises decline like that one was.

[@fortynights1513]

@@Gungho73 Billy Howton on a side note, in spite of retiring with the most receptions and receiving yards in 1963 (though both were quickly passed by Raymond Berry) is not in Canton. Howton played with Babe Parilli who had a good career, and a rookie Bart Starr as his best quarterbacks. It seems counterintuitive now, but given that many schemes were smashmouth based through the 1980’s, quarterbacks who threw a lot of passes and for a lot of yards, and receivers who caught a lot of yardage worth of passes were called unimpactful if they got those numbers and their teams didn’t perform, because voters argued that they only had the numbers they did because the game wasn’t well managed and their teams were losing. Given that we call quarterbacks game managers, it may hold some water in their analysis, but it doesn’t mean the receivers weren’t doing their jobs well, even if in losing efforts. Howton and the 70’s Ram receiver Harold Jackson (who similarly retired second all time in receiving yards in 1983) both ultimately have the most receiving yards in their respective decades, and neither made the all decade team of the 50’s or 70’s, or Canton because of this perception by voters at the time. Ultimately those are the only two receivers in the top 15 of career receiving yards through 1985 that aren't in Canton, and in my opinion both have been overlooked and snubbed.

[@vadimzdonutube]

@Harry Engel in my opinion the buccaneers 26 game losing streak is the most unbreakable for several reasons. 1. Nobody wants to break it. 2. You probably can’t assemble a team that would lose 26 straight games even if you tried. 3. The second worst streak is 19 straight games by several teams, so nobody has really come close

Dickerson should be #1. It still stands. Oj did 2000 first, then Dickerson which was in 84 or 85 and is still the record. Barry got close, Jamal Lewis got closer. Td and cj2k both got over 2 grand. AD (adrian Peterson) was 9 yards short but its 2020 and still stands. Marino in 84 it stands for 20 years. Then Manning. It stands for 3 years. Brady in 07. Then in 13 manning shatters it.

[@Bakuru]

@Harry Engel IDK how Reggie and Walter aren't on here already bro, it's crazy LOL but I think Mahomes will be on herd for a couple of reasons, even though it isn't the record breaker: 1. He's the only other player to have that season besides Manning in 2013 - 50+ TDs and 5k+ yards 2. He DOES have the record currently for most TDs at this point in their careers, beating even Marino. That's amazing 3. It was his FIRST starting season! LOL it's ridiculous that he was THAT good THAT early. It took Manning 15 years of playing to get that season. Mahomes did it his first time out 🤷🏾‍♂️ that's unfathomable

[@Bakuru]

@Harry Engel Oh yeah I think so too, absolutely 💯 honestly I have no clue what the criteria is for these lists. How in the HELL is Reggie and Walter not on here?? Reggie only played 11 games! 🤣 it's crazy man

[@tronman64]

"If they extend the season from 16 games to 18 games. That is the only way it can be broken" -reference to Brady's 50 touchdown passes -few years and surgery/team change later Manning- "Hold my 55 touchdowns" But being serious the performances are iconic (and I know this was filmed before Manning's 55)but besides beating Brady's by 5 Manning did that at the end of his career not during his prime with arguably a less talented team around him (no Marvin Harrison or James at RB/not saying the cast he had was bad though). Add that a couple years before that having surgery and missing a season with reports of his arm being "a noodle" than throwing 5 MORE than the record is amazing. The crazy thing is I don't think that record is safe cause Mahomes tied Brady in his 1st starting season.

Thank you!! Not enough people talking about Barry! Greatest RB to ever play, no question. I tell people, "he's your favorite running back's favorite running back." Lol

[@fortynights1513]

Certainly an amazing season on Barry’s part. I’d also throw in Walter Payton in 1977 who led the league in rushing yards, yards per carry, yards from scrimmage, and rushing touchdowns, and won an MVP. For as mid as Barry Sander’s offensive lines were, in 1997 he had a pro bowl center at least, and his team’s top receiver was also an all pro unlike Payton’s. Payton in 1977 had no player on his offense other than himself get any individual recognition that year, and in fact none of his teammates would ever win an individual accolade in their career.

Compared to the beating Johnny Unitas and Bart Star had to put with. Imagine the stats they would have playing 17 games, with pass heavy offenses, and rules that keep QB's from taking a pounding and having longer careers.

I know. Now they have to actually cover guys and play defense instead of just assaulting players. Sad times I guess.

[@skolcole]

Adrian Peterson’s 2012 season is the best rushing season of all time. When you can drag Christian Ponder, an average defense, and coach Leslie Frazier to the playoffs damn near singlehanded while having 2,097 yards rushing with 60 less carries than Dickerson had that’s the Golden standard.

[@kevinpayton2664]

I think that Eric Dickerson's 2105 rushing yards in 1984 can be broken. Adrian Peterson was 9 yards from breaking it the season he rushed for 2000 yards so it's possible.

[@nicholasadams2374]

Ya definitely. Though, the league and defenses have changed so much, making it much harder. OJ ran for 2000 yds. when there was only 14 games, then for the next 32 years with 16 games, only 6 players broke 2000. Now we have 17 games! Lol

[@fortynights1513]

@@nicholasadams2374 You do have to admit that teams tend to not have one player rush the ball as much as they used to. 17 games, but chances are that most running backs are playing in tandem.

[@RGTitan901]

Can someone explain to me why Roger Craig doesn’t have a gold jacket?

[@conniethesconnie]

He's not a QB. If you are an above average but not necessarily elite QB like Eli Manning or Ben Roethlisberger it is a given that you should go in. Craig one of the best duel threat running backs of all time, no.

[@mrmagoo8956]

The NFL ruined a huge aspect of the game when they moved the kickoff up and made it a guaranteed touchback. A big hit draws a flag regardless if it was within the rules or not.

[@jeffnorthrup8431]

Not sure Hutson's season should be given that much consideration since it was done during WWII, when the talent was greatly diminished.

Terrell Davis has the greatest rushing season of all time, because he not only had 2,008 yards in the regular season, but he had another 468 yards in 3 playoff games. Nobody has come close to 2,476 yards across a total season. Davis also did that as part of a balanced offense with 3,808 yards passing, unlike Dickerson, who was the focal point of an offense with 2,400 yards passing.

[@riico8468]

AND, they held Walter Payton to only 69 yards in what is thought to be his greatest year!!

[@KorithStoneheart]

Marino's single season 48 touchdown passes is still more impressive because he played in a tougher era with defenses that were actually allowed to play and hit the quarterback

Yeah then the Falcons allowed 290 points the next season and the Bears set the NFL points against record in 86.. but this is single season performances. But still 85 Bears, 10 points allowed in the playoffs. I'm curious how many points the Falcons would have allowed against the Cowboys, Steelers etc. Doubt it would be 10 points allowed during the entire post season.. though their offense was awful which never helps your defense.

[@ckobo84]

Considering the '77 Falcons got the benefit of the last year you could mug receivers all the way down the field plus the fact the '85 Bears won the Super Bowl with an overwhelming post season the Bears are definitely the more impressive of the two.
