00:04People say, will that kind of record ever be broken?
00:07Well, hell no, it will never be broken.
00:0847 consecutive games with a touchdown pass.
00:1110 times he took his team to the championship.
00:1318 consecutive road games.
00:15It's just never going to happen.
00:19Yes, sir.
00:23Since its birth in 1920, everything about the NFL has grown.
00:29There are bigger stadiums, bigger players, bigger playbooks, and one great big record book.
00:37That's big. I mean, that's really big.
00:41This handy volume contains more than eight decades of pro football's men, moments, and milestones.
00:47All-time winningest coach in the history of the National Football League.
00:51We've sifted through and found 10 records that will never be broken.
00:55They're amazing. They're colossal. They're putrid.
00:59You think God never farted?
01:02Some records on our list belong to individuals, others to entire teams.
01:06But to make our list, a record had to be verifiable.
01:11That's got to be some kind of all-time record in the universe, right?
01:16So you won't see Steve Spurrier's record-breaking plaid pants.
01:19Or the NFL record for pausing in the middle of a pep talk.
01:22And let's just remember one thing as we leave here today.
01:31Or even the legend of Norm Wildman Willie.
01:34See that guy right there?
01:3517 sacks in a game.
01:37If only it was official, we had some film.
01:4117 sacks in one game.
01:43Believe it or not, sacks are where this countdown begins.
01:47Here we go!
01:49The number 10 record that will never be broken.
01:52Derrick Thomas records seven sacks in one game.
01:56Number 10.
01:57Derrick, get on that quarterback's ass.
02:00Seven sacks in one game.
02:02I don't know if they're ever going to be dead record.
02:04I mean, seven sacks, that's a lot for a whole team.
02:08He was devastating.
02:10There was a man playing on offense that said he wasn't worried about Derrick Thomas.
02:16Yeah, I'd have to call him a liar.
02:19I feel like that's kind of a beatable one.
02:22I don't know.
02:24Probably Miles Garrett could beat it.
02:26It's a record setting day for sets.
02:28In the 1980s, you could say that the NFL's most feared pass rusher was known by just two letters.
02:34L.G.
02:35L.G.
02:36L.G.
02:36You could still say that in the 90s, but by then, the letters had changed.
02:41L.T., the 90s belonged to D.T.
02:48Thomas flew off the edge and into the record books with seven sacks in one game in 1990.
02:54Right back to pass on first down.
02:56He's struggling.
02:56Now he's there and Thomas got him.
02:58Derrick, good job.
03:00Keep working on it.
03:01The interesting part about it is he had seven in that game.
03:04He could have had nine.
03:04The guy that tight end hooked our backer, that f*** damn tight end's hooking him.
03:08They hold us every play.
03:10Normally, you see a lot of big time pass rushers move around because they're trying to create
03:16mental confusion in the pass protection schemes.
03:20So it's very surprising to me looking back at Derrick's day against Seattle that he lined up in one.
03:24He lined up in one spot all day.
03:26And Derrick Craig was pretty much a statue.
03:30One spot the entire game and was able to get seven sacks.
03:35Thomas had broken the order of six sacks in one game held by Fred Dean.
03:39Then came the play that D.T. would never forget.
03:43The thing I most remember about that game is the sack I didn't get.
03:50Finally, Dave Craig makes a move and he just whiffs.
03:55Derrick Thomas just whiffs on the sack.
03:57Come on, Dave.
03:58The sack is mine.
04:00The game is over.
04:01And I was just overanxious at that point.
04:03I kind of overran David Craig.
04:16Regardless of how it played out, to have that many sacks in one game is really extraordinary.
04:24Since he set our number 10 record, the only player to threaten Thomas' magnificent seven was, you guessed it.
04:31Thomas chases it!
04:32His sixth sack of the night!
04:35And I said, Marty, I'm going to pull off the dogs.
04:37I said, we'll kill them before we keep this up.
04:40We could have got eight to ten that night.
04:42Another sack for Derrick Thomas!
04:44What's new?
04:45We may see four sacks in a game.
04:47Maybe possibly five.
04:48I don't think we'll ever see six or seven, ever.
04:51The NFL record book is filled with streaks that will never be broken.
04:56There's a few six-set games, but none seven.
05:00I like that!
05:01I like that!
05:02Donovan McNabb completed a record 24 straight passes over two games.
05:08Donovan McNabb is putting on a passing display like we haven't seen.
05:14Emmitt Smith broke new ground with 1,000 yards rushing in 11 straight seasons.
05:1911,000-yard season.
05:22Then there's New England's 21-game win streak.
05:25I said, how many games we got to win to break the record?
05:29A new National Football League record.
05:32Still, not even New England measures up to the championship run made by our next record holder.
05:38The number nine record that will never be broken.
05:42Otto Graham.
05:43Quarterback number, Otto Graham.
05:44Winning is really what football is all about.
05:48Never played.
05:49Since the Cleveland championship game, championship seven, the final.
06:04Exactly.
06:05They called it the Super Bowl today.
06:07In those days, it was called the World Championship.
06:10World champions again.
06:11And Otto acknowledges the spontaneous ovation.
06:17Every dynasty has a quarterback in the driver's seat.
06:21And every one of them takes a back seat to Otto.
06:24Graham once again took to the air with Doug Jones as his target.
06:28Bart Starr and Bob Greasy never played in more than three straight championships.
06:33Jim Kelly made four straight, but lost all four.
06:36What a way to end a tremendous season.
06:38No man in history knew more about getting to championships than Otto Graham.
06:44He played for the Rochester Royals in the NBA in 1946, and they won the title.
06:49Then he played for the Browns the same year, and they won the title as well.
06:54Graham tossed a 40-yard pass complete to Jones.
06:57The Browns' 1946 title came in the All-American Football Conference.
07:02When Cleveland joined the NFL four years later, Graham kept leading the Browns to title games.
07:08He asked how he was able to accomplish that.
07:10For the first four years, the Browns just had better players, and they just overwhelmed people with talent.
07:16It was close to the Harlem Globetrotters against the Washington Generals.
07:21Even with all that, I mean, he was the guy that made it all work.
07:24His nickname was Automatic Otto because of his consistent accuracy.
07:30The accurate Graham tries his best.
07:33Hey, Otto, you're taking three shoes.
07:35Our number 10 record helped make Graham a pitchman for the Breakfast of Champions.
07:40He was the first player to do a Wheaties commercial.
07:44Action.
07:45Mmm.
07:50Graham finds a gap as wide as the goalpost, and Otto goes over, standing up.
07:55So why is Otto's record of 10 title games in 10 years only number 9 on our list?
08:05He played part of his career in the AFC.
08:07There weren't that many teams.
08:09Weren't that many games.
08:10Weren't that many rounds of the playoffs.
08:12His career in the All-American Football Conference, which was perceived as a minor league to the NFL.
08:17But if you look, he won 80% of his games in the All-American Football Conference,
08:21but he won 80% of his games in the NFL.
08:22He played at the same level regardless of the competition.
08:26Automatic Otto using the referee as a blocker in field.
08:30Tossed a 25-yarder to Max Feedy.
08:36Ten straight championship games will stand the test of time
08:39because the way it's set up now, you can't keep your squad intact.
08:44The teams that can stay at playoff level, like the Patriots, are unusual.
08:48Back-to-back. Three out of four.
08:50The more great teams we see rise and fall,
08:53the more great quarterbacks we see maybe only get to one or two championship games,
08:58the accomplishments of Otto Graham will seem even greater in our rearview mirror.
09:02The number eight record that will never be broken.
09:05The 1972 Dolphins' perfect season.
09:09It can't be number eight.
09:10It's an undefeated season.
09:12It's got to be close.
09:15Of all the records,
09:17what one brings you instantaneous recognition,
09:22like 17-0 Miami Dolphins?
09:25Even kids that are eight years old have heard something about the perfect season.
09:30The Dolphins have completed the greatest season in NFL history.
09:34You know what bothers me about that?
09:35I've got to tell you what bothers me about the Dolphins.
09:38At least a certain portion of them celebrate this like it's their great accomplishment in life.
09:44Give me a break.
09:44Every year, they pop the champagne.
09:46It's so predictable and so annoying.
09:50It is their big accomplishment in life.
09:52What are you talking about?
09:57So is Miami's record really all that impressive?
10:01That Dolphins team during the regular season played only two teams with winning records,
10:06the Giants and the Chiefs,
10:07and each of those teams was eight and six.
10:11So, so, we beat everybody we lined up against.
10:17No matter how close the games were, it doesn't matter.
10:19What was accomplished is what counts.
10:24Well, if it's accomplishments we're counting,
10:27then we couldn't completely discount the early days of the NFL.
10:31See, the Dolphins are technically not the only perfect team in NFL history.
10:37Four of the league's first 13 champions were undefeated and untied.
10:42Sure, there were no playoffs to survive back in 1920
10:46when the Akron pros were awarded the NFL title at a league meeting in April.
10:50That's a lovely hat. Thank you.
10:52But who's to say the 8-0 pros wouldn't have made it through the postseason unscathed?
10:58Huh?
11:00Since 1972, four teams have made a run at perfection.
11:04The 1980...
11:0585 Bears were stifled by Marino.
11:09Hmm.
11:10Who else did it?
11:1204 Colts.
11:14No, 05 Colts.
11:16Stifled.
11:2007 Patriots.
11:21Stifled.
11:2585 Bears' perfect season was spoiled in Miami.
11:29The 1998 Broncos began 13-0 before being upset by the 5-8 Giants.
11:36In 2005, the Colts also ran out of luck at 13 wins.
11:4013-1!
11:42Here you come, Colts!
11:43And, of course, in the 2007 Patriots fell just one game short of perfection.
11:48Patriots actually won two more games than did the Dolphins.
11:51But we've got to win them all.
11:54I don't see a team being perfect.
11:56I don't think that's going to ever be broken.
11:58The record is more difficult to achieve today than it was at that time.
12:05A, the season's longer.
12:06It's not 17-0, it's got to be 19-0.
12:09B, there may be more distraction.
12:11We have to start, of course, with the talk of the league, that being the now 13-0 Indianapolis Colts.
12:17You reel up 12-13 wins.
12:19Well, inevitably, at that point, you've won...
12:36Hey, Brian, I'm sorry, Jim, but, you know, you don't play very much, obviously.
12:46It may happen, but I doubt it.
12:49Nah, if someone else can do it, so be it.
12:52But until somebody does, you know, it's still our record.
12:54The NFL record book has plenty of single-season marks that appear unbreakable.
13:04In 1984, Eric Dickerson ran farther than anyone in NFL history with 2,105 yards.
13:12And a brand-new single-season rushing record for the...
13:16In 2007, Tom Brady threw for a record 50 touchdown passes.
13:26Touchdown, Patriots!
13:27Marvin Harrison had a chart-topping year in 2002 with 143 receptions.
13:34He's got more passes than any player in league history in a single season.
13:38Tom, Eric, and Marvin made single-season history.
13:41Had our next record holder been in the league today, he might have been history after a single season.
13:46The number seven record that will never be broken.
13:50Tom Landry coaches the same team for 29 consecutive seasons.
13:57Let every nation know!
14:00His term stretched from the new frontier to the fall of the Iron Curtain.
14:04General Secretary Gorbachev...
14:07That's insane.
14:08He coached...
14:12Oh, how long was he alive?
14:16He was 64 when he retired.
14:17That's nearly half of his life.
14:19Coaching.
14:20Bear down this wall.
14:23By the time he was ousted from power, the man in the funny hat had become the symbol of America's
14:30team.
14:30No coach will ever equal what Tom Landry did.
14:35He coached one team for 29 consecutive years.
14:40Coach Landry's record, 29 years, they won't even sniff that one.
14:44Nothing stunk worse than Landry's early Cowboys teams.
14:48In 1960, his first team didn't win a game.
14:52And for the next four years, Dallas finished with a losing record.
14:56I'm sure everybody thought I was going to get fired in 1964 when Clint Merkerson called a press conference.
15:02He said, well, I'm going to give Tom a 10-year contract.
15:05This was a first-time head coach that they gave years and years and years to really start winning.
15:12Unless St. Francis of Assisi buys a team, I don't see anybody that's going to be that patient for that
15:19long.
15:21Like, he was about to be fired five years in.
15:28Before angry cheeseheads flood us with complaints, we should mention that Curly Lambeau coached Green Bay for 29 straight years
15:35in the NFL's Mesozoic era.
15:39What the hell's going on out here?
15:42But as a Packer had to confront a mob like this one demanding his scalp, that's why Curly left town
15:49with a full head of hair, unlike our number seven record holder.
15:53If Tom Landry was under the scrutiny of websites, talk shows, I don't think Tom would have lasted that long,
16:01and it doesn't matter who the owner was.
16:04How many fan bases are going to put up with a 29-year plan?
16:08You've got to handle their front four.
16:10He could go to the playoffs every year for 29 straight years, go to the championship game for 29 straight
16:15years, and the fans will still say, this coach can't get us over the hump.
16:20Back when Coach Landry coached, it wasn't a 12-month-a-year job the way it is today.
16:28Nowadays, football's a full-time, 24-7, 12-month job.
16:32You come to work, and it's dark, and you leave, and it's dark. It's about all the same.
16:36You're cooked.
16:38I am emotionally burnt.
16:41Hmph. Joe Tasman came up with the word cooked.
16:44Like, in slang term.
16:47And therefore, I feel that I need a break.
16:52Bill Cowher lasted in Pittsburgh, mainly because they had an owner that really did not like to change coaches, and
16:59he stuck with him through some pretty thin years.
17:01A tough loss for the black and gold.
17:03That's going to beat the modern record.
17:06And his, I believe his son, Rooney, I think it's Dan Rooney Jr. or something, his son did the same
17:14for Tomlin, but that was only 19 seasons.
17:18I'm proud of all we've accomplished here in the 15 years that I've been able to be the head coach.
17:23I don't think there's any way anyone approaches Landry's 29 years.
17:28Never be broken.
17:30The 49ers' 18-game road-winning streak.
17:34People don't understand how hard it is to win every week in the NFL.
17:38Playoffs? You kidding me?
17:40Playoffs?
17:41I just hope we can win a game.
17:43And it's harder to win on the road.
17:46So when you talk about winning 18 straight road games, that's an amazing record.
17:52And if you look at it, it wasn't 18 close wins.
17:57I mean, they would dominate teams on the road.
17:59Into the end zone! Touchdown, 49ers!
18:05After being upset in Phoenix in the middle of 1988, the 49ers departed on the greatest road-winning streak since
18:16Eisenhower left for France.
18:18Their march covered two Super Bowl wins and put a damper on opposing crowds.
18:23I remember so many Niners saying that their biggest job was to make sure it was quiet in the other
18:30team's stadium.
18:31They used to do a lot of this shh.
18:32Go home!
18:34Y'all go home!
18:34We were a better team on the road than we were home.
18:38For what reason? I don't know.
18:40We just thrived on playing against the world.
18:43Bill would do a plane.
18:45We're going in here into a hostile environment.
18:48Against a hostile crowd.
18:50It's going to be us 45 players against the whole stadium, 80,000 people.
18:5470,000 people booing you, booing your ass!
18:58The game at Philadelphia in 1989 would be the ultimate example.
19:02They were getting crushed.
19:04Joe Montana was getting beat up.
19:07Veteran stadium turf is horrible.
19:10The Philadelphia fans, they're a lot to deal with.
19:16Montana was essentially dead at halftime.
19:19All of a sudden, Freddy Krueger's eyelids fluttered open.
19:24Into the end zone! Touchdown, 49ers!
19:27Joe Montana throws four touchdown passes in the fourth quarter on the road to beat the Eagles.
19:32It's touchdown, 49ers!
19:34And when he threw the last touchdown pass, I mean, it was dead silence.
19:39Touchdown, 49ers!
19:42Part of the reason the 49ers did so well was they traveled well.
19:46They were one of the first teams to have the big jumbo jet.
19:49The way...
19:50Big tomatoes, ice cream also.
19:53Mr. Di Bartolo likes to have the best.
19:55I mean, everything was top-notch.
19:56The thing was, it was a great plane, and they were staying in great hotels, but the guys on the
20:00plane were Montana and a lot and rice.
20:03That had more to do with it than anything else.
20:04Roger Craig, Charles Haley.
20:10Hall of Famers, too.
20:13Their most epic achievement was the 1988 road win at Chicago.
20:19Welcome to the NFC Championship, Chicago style.
20:22The temperature of blustery 17 degrees, with the wind chill dipping to a crisp 26 below.
20:29Yes, we are ready!
20:30We're not cold enough out here!
20:31Or any better.
20:33The brawling, beefy Chicago Bears against a coast finesse team.
20:41He gets away with the front right!
20:43They won't touch him!
20:44It's a dump!
20:45It wasn't even close.
20:49Ask for an honor if we come in the backyard of the Bears and kick ass.
20:56Our number six record ended eight games in the 1991 season.
21:01Oh, it ain't good!
21:02By then, Sanford's blown by the charge of 11 cents.
21:06Enjoyed an ooched number six.
21:10The 49ers, they could go play on an aircraft-carrying VP.
21:16Their advantage was that they were just damn good.
21:19The number five record that will never be broken.
21:23Don Hudson leads the league in touchdowns eight times.
21:27Here's Don Hudson, once the pride of Alabama.
21:30Wait.
21:31Before you meet Don Hudson, consider this.
21:35Lance Allworth, Jim Brown, and Emmitt Smith each led the league in touchdowns three times.
21:41Highlight film touchdown for Emmitt Smith.
21:44Three is the number of seasons in Don Hudson's 11-year career that he wasn't the league's touchdown leader.
21:52That's right.
21:53Hudson led the NFL in touchdowns eight times, or five more times than the closest competitors.
22:00All right.
22:01Hit it, Don.
22:02Hudson puts on more speed and...
22:04You know, that has a lot to do with how stagnant offense was back then, but he...
22:09He got some 15 touchdown-plus seasons.
22:13Reaches out for a 50-yard pass.
22:15Yes, sir.
22:17Over.
22:21The only way any player could come close to leading the league for eight seasons
22:25would be a running back like, say, LaDainian Tomlinson, but no running back is going to be able to withstand
22:31that punishment.
22:33Jerry Rice is the greatest receiver in history, and maybe the greatest player in history,
22:37and he couldn't come close to something like that.
22:40There are always receivers who statistically did put up comparable numbers,
22:44but there was such a gap between what Hudson did and what everybody else did.
22:48He had to have more receptions than some teams, more touchdowns than some teams.
22:53That couldn't possibly happen to them.
22:54I don't know why they didn't just stop the game and say there's never going to be a better wide
22:57receiver playing this game.
23:01He was to football, what Babe Ruth was to baseball, what Wayne Gretzky was to hockey, what Will Chamberlain was
23:07to basketball.
23:08Wilt the Stilt, they call him.
23:10In his career, he had 99 touchdown receptions.
23:14The next closest receiver to him over that same period was Jim Benton, and he had 33.
23:20Hudson broke the record by 3-1.
23:24There was nobody that broke any existing records in any sport by that margin.
23:30If a person could see a gazelle running through a secondary defense in the football field today, that was Don
23:36Hudson.
23:37Nobody could cover a gazelle.
23:38My initial play in pro football was good for 80 yards and a touchdown, and the game ended 7-0.
23:46It got me off to a great start.
23:49I don't even know what the heck team he's playing against.
23:56To break the number five record on our list, a player would have to lead the league in touchdowns in
24:02at least nine seasons.
24:05And that's not likely to happen, given the evolution of pro football.
24:09What the hell?
24:10Back years and years ago, you didn't scheme to stop Don Hudson.
24:16You lined up and played and made the best man win.
24:19Now you scheme against particular offensive structures, against players.
24:25Don't worry, number 12 is in $20,000.
24:28It's not going to happen in today's NFL.
24:31The number four record that will never be broken, the Bucs' 26-game losing streak.
24:38I think the Cardinals actually had a 29-game losing streak or something like that.
24:44Hey, Tampa Bay, the Bucs are hot and ready to play.
24:49No one was ready when the Bucs were born, and in their infancy set an NFL record with 26 consecutive
24:56losses.
24:56You can't stop a pass or a run, otherwise we're in great shape.
25:01It's a record. I don't know that we'll ever see it broken.
25:03I don't think there's anybody out there that wants to break that record.
25:0626 straight games. I don't think we'll ever see that broken again.
25:09And any team that does it must wear orange popsicle uniforms.
25:14If you can imagine a bunch of good humor bars running onto the field and playing football, it probably wasn't
25:18very intimidating.
25:19The Cardinals during the war had a 29-game losing streak. That's really the record.
25:25The real tipping point of the whole deal was the Buccaneer on the side of the emblem with the wink.
25:31That just says losing, it implies losing, and it instills losing.
25:39Before the Bucs, there were other great losers.
25:43The Raiders once lost 19 straight games, and the Cardinals' rich history includes two 19-game losing streaks.
25:51But no one has ever been better at being bad than the team that holds our number four record.
25:57What's it like in the professional ranks? Is there anything special?
25:59No, I was beat 51-0 in the college ranks. It's the same thing.
26:04The same offensive lineman would always fall asleep in team meeting. Howard Fest.
26:10McKay was talking about games were won and lost in the trenches.
26:13And they're in the back. And McKay goes, fast, fast. Where are games won and lost?
26:20He goes, right here with the Buccaneers, coach.
26:22John McKay, he was asked, what can you do to shake this up?
26:25He said, I've changed the way I stand on the sidelines. I've changed the way we practice.
26:29I've changed the hat I wear.
26:34We're playing the Falcons this weekend. I'm thinking about going to the game naked.
26:37I said, coach, why would you do that? He says, maybe it'll distract the Falcons' quarterback.
26:40Haha. And if I haven't made a fool out of myself now, I soon will be.
26:47In the second to last week of 1977, the Bucs' deliverance came against the Saints.
26:54After 26 games worth of waiting, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers made all the right plays
27:00and celebrated the first victory in the team's brief history.
27:05What we should do is go down and get their champagne. But we'll drink our beer.
27:09Get out of here.
27:10And Hank Strum, Saints coach, was immediately fired.
27:14They were so bad, if you lost to them, you got fired.
27:18And John McKay, in a statement that would be politically incorrect these times,
27:22said, three or four plane crashes and we're in the playoffs.
27:29People say, will that kind of record ever be broken? Well, hell no, it will never be broken.
27:33I don't even think you could put together a team that will lose 26 straight games, even if you tried
27:38to do it.
27:39If you're the worst team in the league, somebody is going to give you one or two every year.
27:43And the Browns win in overtime!
27:46To go 0 for a season and then add some more after that, I don't see it.
27:50That's just a complete, ridiculous stray of...
27:56And no, I don't have a comment on Saban's comments, because they're correct.
28:02That was a completely ridiculous stray to the Browns, because they weren't even the worst team in the league that
28:08year.
28:08The Raiders were.
28:11That's a complete stray.
28:22That's a complete...
28:41The game in 1951 is the envy of passers everywhere.
28:45Norm, you got 500 yards passing. Oh, do I?
28:49But even the Dutchman and his wooden shoes wasn't as tough as the NFL's ultimate Iron Man.
28:56The number three record that will never be broken.
28:59Brett Kaur's streak of consecutive starts by a quarterback.
29:04And Mikowski is down and hurting, Max. He is hurting.
29:06And I'm concerned.
29:07There was no need to worry.
29:09There's a man. He's wide open.
29:11I can't believe it, Jim. A great pass by Favre.
29:14After relieving an injured Don Mikowski, Brett Favre got his first NFL start the next week, September 27, 1992.
29:23Get it going, man!
29:23Over the next 19 seasons, Favre wouldn't miss a single start.
29:27We will never see another quarterback play in the number of consecutive games that Brett Favre has.
29:34I don't even know what it is. It's like 250, isn't it, or something?
29:38He's playing how many straight games?
29:40Favre's record reached 297 straight games.
29:45It was 321 when he got hurt.
29:49That consecutive start streak is inhuman.
29:53It's Cal Ripken-type record with big guys beating on you every day.
30:04He's just bare-bones, tough quarterback.
30:06He's old-school, kind of a mixture of Bobby Lane and Johnny Unitas.
30:11I was covering the game when he broke his thumb.
30:15It wasn't just a little fracture.
30:17I mean, when I looked at Dexter, I said, that's not my thumb. There's no way.
30:20That's the most important finger for me throwing.
30:23But forget about gripping a football.
30:25The way you place your hands under a center, that thumb is exposed to the ball.
30:31You may only throw the ball 30 times a game, but it's getting banged on 70.
30:38He doesn't miss a game, and he throws the ball better than most guys would with a good hand.
30:49To think about that streak, that was in 1994 when I was in training camp with him.
30:54If I'd have made it with Green Bay, I would still not have touched the football field.
30:59After my whole career and everything I've accomplished,
31:02the St. Louis Rams are the world champions.
31:06And to me, that just blows me away.
31:10The guy has made a steal.
31:13He leaps tall buildings in a single bound.
31:17He dives into the end zone, and the Packers score.
31:20What Brett Favre has done dwarfs Cal Ripken's accomplishment.
31:24Cal Ripken gets a brick and more material known as kids and goes on with his
31:30Yeah, as an Oriole, it's much more impressive than Cal Rip.
31:35Nobody
31:36I don't know.
31:38I don't know.
32:05Six-yard line hit and hit hard.
32:08A shoulder injury ended his streak at 297.
32:11And to play the games that you played consecutively, that'll never happen again.
32:16I can't see that ever happen.
32:20Favre has more than doubled Ron Jaworski's previous record of 116 straight starts.
32:26Since then, Peyton Manning has also broken the jaw's line.
32:30But to knock out Favre's record, Manning will have to remain standing until 2015.
32:39When we talk about...
32:40He did, but he injured his neck in 2010 and then missed an entire season.
32:48...records that never will be broken, you can start with Brett Favre's and end with Brett Favre's.
32:53Not all of our unbreakable records are from ancient history.
32:57In the past five years, several milestones have been conquered.
33:02It's good to see you, man.
33:03You're going to break that record tonight, right?
33:04Well, if you allow me.
33:07And he's done it.
33:08Martin Anderson has just become the NFL's all-time career scoring leader.
33:13Emmett Smith was crowned the all-time rushing king in 2002.
33:18He retired with more than 18,000 career rushing yards.
33:23Four sweepers make a place for Emmett.
33:29In 2006, LaDainian Tomlinson set the NFL's single-season touchdown record with 31.
33:36And he will gallop into the end zone for the history!
33:40In 2007, Peterson ran for 296 yards in one game.
33:45But it's too soon to say whether these stand the test of time, like our next record.
34:15The number two record that will never be broken.
34:19And Johnny Unitas throws a touchdown in 47 consecutive.
34:23That was broken.
34:25You know, it's nothing to be ashamed of.
34:28Well, it happened.
34:29Our number two record that will never be broken was broken.
34:34There aren't any records that are safe.
34:36Sooner or later, someone's going to break it.
34:38And that someone was Drew Brees, who on October 7th of 2012,
34:42passed Johnny Unitas by throwing a touchdown in 48 consecutive games.
34:47What's up, Johnny?
34:48Yeah, thank you.
34:49Thank you very much.
34:50Go do it, all right?
34:50All right.
34:50We're going to be laying up there, cheering for you big time.
34:53I appreciate it.
34:53Gun, empty, right, Quizno.
34:5452 nudge, double square out, takeoff.
34:56All one.
34:57Be ready, Devery.
34:59Set!
35:04And there it is!
35:06Drew Brees to Devery Henderson.
35:09A record that has stood for 52 years.
35:11Stands no more.
35:12Yes, sir!
35:15It is pretty incredible when you realize how many games go by
35:19where a team doesn't score a touchdown.
35:22Throws over the middle, wide open, Colston.
35:24Touchdown!
35:24Down to the 10, five, touchdown!
35:27And there's a Drew Brees touchdown.
35:30After breaking Johnny Unitas' record,
35:32Brees extended his streak to 54 games.
35:35I think the hard part for a quarterback is staying healthy for 54 straight games.
35:39There's a lot of guys out there that can't even stay on the field that many consecutive games.
35:43It's almost mind-boggling.
35:45That's an incredible streak.
35:46It really is.
35:47This record has stretched over the course of four seasons,
35:50so there's so many people that are involved in this.
35:53There may be only one name that goes in the record book,
35:56but it's all about you guys.
35:58Do you remember the touchdown pass that started this streak?
36:01The first one, way back?
36:03I'm going to say Giants, Jeremy Shockey, 2009.
36:09Play action.
36:10Here's Brees, going to throw.
36:11Shockey, touchdown!
36:13Fire 82 X Banana.
36:17Fire 82 X Banana started the streak that would span three years, one month, and eight days.
36:26Drew Brees breaking Unitas' record is not all that interesting to me.
36:30I mean, think about when Johnny U did this.
36:32He does this in the plesiozoic era of the NFL.
36:36Unitas makes it look easy.
36:38When rules were geared towards defenses,
36:42defensive players were bigger, stronger, faster than the offensive players.
36:46Offensive linemen weren't allowed to block with anything but their forearms.
36:50The way they block now would have been considered holding back then.
36:55Oh, by the way, he played outside and his receivers didn't have gloves.
37:01And he didn't play a 16-game season.
37:03They played 12 back then.
37:05Give him the advantages of other eras.
37:08His record would have been 70.
37:12He's doing this outdoors, on grass, with all rules that are still tilted towards the defense.
37:18You've got to put an asterisk a little bit by, you know, the touchdown passes that you have now because
37:24this is different.
37:24The quarterback wasn't protected as much.
37:27Receivers certainly didn't have the protection that they have now through bump and run, inside the five yards, being hit,
37:33coming across the middle.
37:35Unitas' 47 is a million times more impressive than Drew Brees.
37:41The thing that would surprise me is the way it ended and how it ended.
37:44Brees' streak ended ingloriously at the hands of the Atlanta Falcons, who picked off the future Hall of Famer five
37:51times.
37:52Shoots it out of the backfield, it's intercepted.
37:55Getting to his right, middle of the field, intercepted.
37:57Brees has been intercepted yet again.
38:02During the streak, Brees had thrown 135 touchdowns.
38:06Drew Brees is one of the more accurate passers in the league.
38:10And when he's on, you can't stop him.
38:13The thing about Drew is not only is he good about going over the top to guys like Devery Henderson.
38:18Drew Brees puts that thing, I mean, he drops that in a thimble.
38:22He's very good in the red zone, and he doesn't turn the ball over inside the 20.
38:26Pierre Thomas makes it later! He's going to score!
38:30I think Drew Brees should throw a touchdown pass pretty much in every game the rest of his NFL career.
38:36What?
38:37Johnny, Unitas' record lasted 52 years.
38:41Unitas hits him for a touchdown.
38:43But will Brees' record have the same staying power?
38:46That is...
38:47It won't.
38:48It's an incredible, incredible streak.
38:50It'll be broken in the next couple of years.
38:52I'm just not impressed with any of the current passing records.
38:55In the 2012 season, the read option kind of supplanted the pass-happy league.
39:00Robert's going to keep it on the option.
39:02Running to the left.
39:03Touchdown, OG3!
39:04I don't believe anybody's going to catch Drew Brees' record.
39:07The number one record that will never be broken.
39:11Don Shulo wins 347 games as a head coach.
39:16Then we need a drive on offense.
39:17We need a drive.
39:18We've got to put it together.
39:19We've got to start running with the ball.
39:21Pants protecting.
39:22Making plays.
39:23Defense shutout in the second half.
39:25With genius like that, it's easy to see why Don Shulo won more games than everyone else.
39:31Where's Andrew?
39:33The hell in there!
39:34I think I've only had two opportunities in my coaching career to be carried off the field.
39:39One was the perfect season.
39:41And the other one was breaking George Halas' record of winning the most games.
39:48This is number 325, and it couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
39:53Shulo's 325th victory set the NFL record for all-time wins by a head coach previously held by George Halas.
40:01When you realize the man whose record he broke founded the league and coached and owned, he couldn't fire himself.
40:08I don't know that anyone can coach that long.
40:11Shulo retired in 1995 with 347 career wins.
40:16Our number one record will never be broken.
40:19347 is beyond reach.
40:23It's just never going to happen.
40:26Someone would have to average double-figure wins for more than three decades.
40:33And win the playoffs.
40:38If there was a guy who you sensed that could coach for 30 years, it was Bill Cowher.
40:44The guy wins 149 games in 15 seasons.
40:47You start talking about winning 340-some-odd games?
40:50No way.
40:54Shulo's a very proud man and very proud of his accomplishments.
40:58We've won a lot of football games, and I've been named Coach of the Year.
41:01The name of his steak sauce is 347 after the number of his wins.
41:06Shulo savored his first 71 victories in Baltimore, where he was hired at the age of 33.
41:13Listen to what the quarterback says in a huddle.
41:15I told my team when I first met him that I'm about as subtle as a punch in the mouth.
41:20Corky, what the hell are we doing?
41:22We'll get killed!
41:24Despite all the wins that Shulo's Colts racked up, they're remembered for one game he lost.
41:30The New York Jets are the world champions.
41:32They have upset the Baltimore Colts and beat them handily here today.
41:40In 1970, Shulo bolted the Colts' barn from Miami Beach, where he began whipping the Dolphins into shape.
41:47I remember sitting in my...
41:49They were trashed before he got there.
41:52Garbage.
41:53All those Hall of Famers, all those guys, they weren't doing anything before he got there.
42:01I see you thinking, oh my God, this guy is possessed.
42:05He's the devil.
42:06Let's get something out of the drill.
42:07Everything we do is for a reason.
42:09But he had the ability to stand on the practice field and in between corrections on the passing drill.
42:14He took about two steps back toward the ball.
42:16Correct something that he saw the offensive lineman do 80 yards away.
42:21Every man on every down 60 minutes was prepared.
42:24And that's why his parts were always so interchangeable.
42:28Bob Greasy goes down.
42:29Earl Morrill steps in.
42:32Morrill on the snap.
42:33Drops straight back to throw.
42:34Down the corner.
42:35Warfield.
42:35Touchdown.
42:36He had a terrific understanding of matching the people he had to what they would do and do well.
42:45Mid-season, Earl.
42:46Okay, baby.
42:47From the Zonka days with the all-pro offensive lineman to the adaptation of Dan Marine.
42:54He made it to an NFL championship or Super Bowl with five different quarterbacks.
43:01United's Morrill, Greasy, Woodley Marino.
43:07Marino and the Marx Brothers.
43:10There are guys in the Hall of Fame like Langer.
43:12He took them when other people didn't want them.
43:16Gave them belief in themselves.
43:18Whoa, whoa.
43:19Don't leave out the guy next to Jim Langer, who was Larry Little, who was also undrafted.
43:26Nobody wanted him either.
43:27The Chargers took him.
43:30Got rid of him.
43:32Shula picked him up.
43:36And that's the reason he won more games, in my opinion.
43:39And I don't think anybody else is going to be able to do that in today's world.
43:45It is now less a profession.
43:49Someone is in a very long time.
44:00Looked in the mirror in the morning.
44:01Don Shula knew there was a football coach looking back at him.
44:04Shula coached more than three times as long as Vince Lombardi and won over a hundred games more than Paul
44:12Brown.
44:13No one was better for longer than the man who holds our number one record.
44:18And there's no denying it will never be broken.
44:21Coach Shula being bobbed as he becomes the all-time winningest coach in the history of the National Football League.
44:28Shula! Shula! Shula! Shula!
44:30Shula!
44:31347 is the record that will never be broken.
44:35Yes.
44:36Shula!
