19
00:01:11,826 --> 00:01:16,146
Speaker 1: Brady Breezes, Rogers and Cam who went super nova on

20
00:01:16,226 --> 00:01:19,386
Speaker 1: the NFL record books. But it wasn't just the biggest

21
00:01:19,466 --> 00:01:22,986
Speaker 1: and the brightest will forever be remembered as the Year

22
00:01:23,066 --> 00:01:25,546
Speaker 1: of the Quarterback, not just for the new standards that

23
00:01:25,586 --> 00:01:28,426
Speaker 1: were set, but for the performances across the league that

24
00:01:28,506 --> 00:01:31,466
Speaker 1: will never be forgotten. What's going on everyone, I'm Mike

25
00:01:31,546 --> 00:01:35,226
Speaker 1: Yam and this is NFL Explained Today. We're gonna rewind

26
00:01:35,266 --> 00:01:39,426
Speaker 1: the clock ten years to see exactly what made perhaps

27
00:01:39,426 --> 00:01:48,266
Speaker 1: the greatest single season for quarterbacks in NFL history. Did

28
00:01:48,306 --> 00:01:52,226
Speaker 1: you know what? The season had? Three five thousand yard passers,

29
00:01:52,346 --> 00:01:56,146
Speaker 1: three qbs with forty touchdowns, four team scores by a

30
00:01:56,226 --> 00:02:02,786
Speaker 1: rookie phenom, and t yard passes. All of those single

31
00:02:02,866 --> 00:02:07,746
Speaker 1: season records is arguably the this quarterback year of all time.

32
00:02:07,946 --> 00:02:12,026
Speaker 1: And that's just pitch and catch. Breathe, Brady Rogers cam.

33
00:02:12,066 --> 00:02:15,986
Speaker 1: The firepower was high, as were the numbers. Simply put,

34
00:02:16,306 --> 00:02:19,946
Speaker 1: it was an aerial display for the ages. This is

35
00:02:20,066 --> 00:02:28,866
Speaker 1: NFL Explained the Year of the Quarterback. The New Orleans Saints,

36
00:02:28,866 --> 00:02:31,986
Speaker 1: winners of Super Bowl forty four, and the defending Super

37
00:02:32,026 --> 00:02:35,146
Speaker 1: Bowl champion Green Bay Packers. The tone was set opening

38
00:02:35,226 --> 00:02:38,506
Speaker 1: night with a marquee matchup at lambeau Field. On the

39
00:02:38,546 --> 00:02:42,986
Speaker 1: other side, Nelson touchdown Green Bay. The fake to him

40
00:02:43,226 --> 00:02:47,746
Speaker 1: Breeze has Tid Breeze going bb Thrones Park touchedown. The

41
00:02:47,866 --> 00:02:50,226
Speaker 1: last two Super Bowl m v p s went blow

42
00:02:50,306 --> 00:02:53,506
Speaker 1: for blow, as a four hundred nineteen yard three t

43
00:02:53,706 --> 00:02:56,866
Speaker 1: d night from Drew Brees wasn't enough to best Aaron

44
00:02:56,946 --> 00:03:00,946
Speaker 1: rodgers Is three touchdown performance. The two superstars were the

45
00:03:00,986 --> 00:03:03,746
Speaker 1: first pair of quarterbacks to each throw for three hundred

46
00:03:03,746 --> 00:03:08,066
Speaker 1: plus yards and three scores an opening night game that

47
00:03:08,346 --> 00:03:11,546
Speaker 1: was just the beginning. Breeze was a Triple Crown workhorse

48
00:03:11,586 --> 00:03:15,746
Speaker 1: in exploding for a league high forty six touchdowns and

49
00:03:15,826 --> 00:03:19,386
Speaker 1: a record five thousand, four hundred seventy six passing yards,

50
00:03:19,666 --> 00:03:22,946
Speaker 1: all while completing nearly seventy two percent of his passes.

51
00:03:23,306 --> 00:03:26,906
Speaker 1: The yardage mark shattered dam Murato's twenty seven year old record,

52
00:03:27,186 --> 00:03:31,586
Speaker 1: which many thought was unbreakable until two different players topped

53
00:03:31,586 --> 00:03:39,866
Speaker 1: it in single season. The future Hall of Famer toyed

54
00:03:39,866 --> 00:03:43,666
Speaker 1: with defense is game after game, posting five touchdowns on

55
00:03:43,866 --> 00:03:47,306
Speaker 1: three separate occasions. In a Week seven drubbing of the Colts,

56
00:03:47,546 --> 00:03:51,826
Speaker 1: Breeze finished with more touchdown passes than in completions. Not bad,

57
00:03:52,026 --> 00:03:54,666
Speaker 1: but not good enough for the m v P that

58
00:03:54,786 --> 00:03:57,826
Speaker 1: went to Rogers. In the first of his three m

59
00:03:57,906 --> 00:04:00,906
Speaker 1: VP campaigns, a rod led the reigning champs on a

60
00:04:01,026 --> 00:04:04,826
Speaker 1: nineteen game winning streak, going fourteen in one while posting

61
00:04:05,786 --> 00:04:09,026
Speaker 1: tred yards and forty five touchdowns. He threw just six

62
00:04:09,066 --> 00:04:13,306
Speaker 1: interceptions and earned the highest single season passer rating in history.

63
00:04:13,506 --> 00:04:18,386
Speaker 1: Robers five front Touchestown against the Broncos in Week four,

64
00:04:18,466 --> 00:04:21,586
Speaker 1: he became the only player to record four hundred passing

65
00:04:21,666 --> 00:04:25,626
Speaker 1: yards and four passing tds and two rushing scores in

66
00:04:25,706 --> 00:04:29,546
Speaker 1: the same game. Is not gonna go and Roders, It's

67
00:04:29,586 --> 00:04:33,666
Speaker 1: like the fo full touchsdown. Aaron Rodgers had multiple ways,

68
00:04:33,706 --> 00:04:36,666
Speaker 1: let's touch down that time. The very next week, Denver

69
00:04:37,146 --> 00:04:41,186
Speaker 1: turned to this guy at QB. It's all t Bow

70
00:04:42,026 --> 00:04:46,386
Speaker 1: for the fog touchlot. Tebow Mania tucked away among the

71
00:04:46,426 --> 00:04:50,826
Speaker 1: gaudy passing numbers, an is a stretch of pure insanity.

72
00:04:50,946 --> 00:04:57,226
Speaker 1: Tebow for Decker. He's got my goodness. In eleven starts,

73
00:04:57,306 --> 00:05:01,306
Speaker 1: Tim Tebow tally six team total touchdowns while pulling victories

74
00:05:01,346 --> 00:05:04,066
Speaker 1: out of Denver's thin air. Tebow trying to run around

75
00:05:04,066 --> 00:05:08,266
Speaker 1: the quarner. Tebow's got for Don more, he might touchdown

76
00:05:09,506 --> 00:05:13,706
Speaker 1: something magical. How about this kid. Between weeks eleven and fourteen,

77
00:05:13,786 --> 00:05:18,186
Speaker 1: he produced four consecutive fourth quarter comebacks for the rock

78
00:05:18,866 --> 00:05:22,826
Speaker 1: Star Tim Tibow you haven't another umbar. Tebow finished the

79
00:05:22,866 --> 00:05:26,266
Speaker 1: season with six king winning drives and one of the

80
00:05:26,306 --> 00:05:29,426
Speaker 1: biggest stunners in playoff history. And here we go, first

81
00:05:29,426 --> 00:05:31,826
Speaker 1: stamp of overtime. The Broncos have been in three overtime

82
00:05:31,866 --> 00:05:36,746
Speaker 1: games this year. They want all got It's times at

83
00:05:36,786 --> 00:05:39,586
Speaker 1: the fifth steffer down three of the thirty to the

84
00:05:39,706 --> 00:05:47,026
Speaker 1: twenty times to the time the first trial overtime, but

85
00:05:47,146 --> 00:05:51,226
Speaker 1: Tebow time ended abruptly in Foxborough. The Broncos ran into

86
00:05:51,226 --> 00:05:53,986
Speaker 1: a sizzling Tom Brady, who was in the midst of

87
00:05:54,026 --> 00:05:58,026
Speaker 1: another prolific season. Brady through for thirty nine sports and

88
00:05:58,106 --> 00:06:01,746
Speaker 1: a ridiculous five thousand, two hundred thirty five yards in

89
00:06:02,866 --> 00:06:05,626
Speaker 1: good old Thing, Thank You touchdown the paid Church of

90
00:06:05,786 --> 00:06:08,626
Speaker 1: find it more ways to throw the football down the field.

91
00:06:08,626 --> 00:06:12,186
Speaker 1: He joined Breeze in topping Damn Marino's long standing record

92
00:06:12,346 --> 00:06:16,306
Speaker 1: against Denver in the Divisional round. Brady casually tossed six

93
00:06:16,386 --> 00:06:19,186
Speaker 1: t d s in just over thirty three minutes of

94
00:06:19,226 --> 00:06:26,746
Speaker 1: game time. T D Brown to style as We're lazy

95
00:06:27,386 --> 00:06:30,666
Speaker 1: top Style and an NFL record in the postseason for

96
00:06:30,706 --> 00:06:33,546
Speaker 1: the quarter by. Two games later, he found himself in

97
00:06:33,706 --> 00:06:37,426
Speaker 1: Super Bowl forty six against the familiar foe, where the

98
00:06:37,586 --> 00:06:43,706
Speaker 1: unthinkable would happen yet again. Poor Man run line, drawing

99
00:06:43,706 --> 00:06:46,986
Speaker 1: into traffic on the sign, running around as by massing.

100
00:06:47,546 --> 00:06:49,946
Speaker 1: Let's look at Eli. Does he look off the safety?

101
00:06:49,986 --> 00:06:52,266
Speaker 1: He looks down the middle of the field. This is

102
00:06:52,346 --> 00:06:55,706
Speaker 1: absolutely brilliant. It's not quite David Tyree, but that is

103
00:06:55,786 --> 00:06:59,706
Speaker 1: pretty closed. An epic follow up to his legendary Super

104
00:06:59,746 --> 00:07:03,106
Speaker 1: Bowl run in two thousand seven, Eli Manning finished with

105
00:07:03,146 --> 00:07:06,786
Speaker 1: a career high four thousand, nine hundred three yards and

106
00:07:06,826 --> 00:07:14,586
Speaker 1: a league leading six game winning drives inpex forti touchsdown.

107
00:07:15,506 --> 00:07:18,106
Speaker 1: The Giants entered the playoffs at nine and seven, and

108
00:07:18,186 --> 00:07:25,466
Speaker 1: Manning to find expectations once more. Four touchdown Man, What

109
00:07:25,586 --> 00:07:27,986
Speaker 1: a great throw by Eli man when you can't walk

110
00:07:28,026 --> 00:07:31,106
Speaker 1: into a guy any better. After toppling Atlanta, he led

111
00:07:31,146 --> 00:07:34,426
Speaker 1: the Giants to three straight road wins while out dunning

112
00:07:34,506 --> 00:07:38,626
Speaker 1: Alex Smith, Aaron Rodgers, and Tom Brady. In fact, no

113
00:07:38,706 --> 00:07:42,266
Speaker 1: other quarterback in NFL history has thrown from more yards

114
00:07:42,346 --> 00:07:46,906
Speaker 1: in a single postseason than Eli Manning five yard drive

115
00:07:47,026 --> 00:07:50,986
Speaker 1: from here and now. Instead, they're going for it the

116
00:07:51,186 --> 00:07:55,826
Speaker 1: press God for the touchdown. He added nine touchdowns and

117
00:07:55,946 --> 00:07:58,706
Speaker 1: a one oh three passer rating on his way to

118
00:07:58,826 --> 00:08:03,026
Speaker 1: another Lombardi. The Giants have finished off the Patriots in

119
00:08:03,106 --> 00:08:05,666
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl for the second time in four years.

120
00:08:06,346 --> 00:08:09,946
Speaker 1: Both Brady and Manning recorded ninety nine yard touchdown passes

121
00:08:09,986 --> 00:08:13,626
Speaker 1: in eleven, combining for two of the thirteen such touchdowns

122
00:08:13,626 --> 00:08:16,986
Speaker 1: in all of NFL history. I've done, Meredith said, with

123
00:08:17,106 --> 00:08:20,266
Speaker 1: Tony Door said, did it ninety nine yards and a half?

124
00:08:20,586 --> 00:08:23,186
Speaker 1: All right? Here's another interesting stats. Seven of the top

125
00:08:23,266 --> 00:08:26,146
Speaker 1: ten all time leaders in both passing yards and passing

126
00:08:26,186 --> 00:08:31,186
Speaker 1: touchdowns were starters inven and that includes Ben Roethlisberger, who

127
00:08:31,186 --> 00:08:35,426
Speaker 1: holds nearly every franchise record in Pittsburgh, inn. Big Ben

128
00:08:35,586 --> 00:08:38,026
Speaker 1: was in the midst of another solid season. See if

129
00:08:38,026 --> 00:08:41,066
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers. Ben Roethlisberger throwing down fields, making a big

130
00:08:41,066 --> 00:08:45,706
Speaker 1: play that big making so many unblocked people meets leading

131
00:08:45,706 --> 00:08:48,426
Speaker 1: the Steelers two and eleven and four record with his

132
00:08:48,506 --> 00:08:56,666
Speaker 1: signature improvisation from the gun, Roethlisberger throwing the tucksdown. Roethlisberger

133
00:08:56,906 --> 00:09:00,386
Speaker 1: extending the play like nobody else in this entire NFL

134
00:09:00,466 --> 00:09:03,546
Speaker 1: can do buying that extra minute of time. Then there's

135
00:09:03,626 --> 00:09:07,346
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers. In eleven, he'd earned his third straight Pro

136
00:09:07,466 --> 00:09:11,066
Speaker 1: Bowl nod while navigating the Chargers through yet another roller

137
00:09:11,146 --> 00:09:14,226
Speaker 1: coaster season. The Chargers finished eight and eight, but that

138
00:09:14,266 --> 00:09:17,426
Speaker 1: didn't stop Rivers from going blow for blow against the

139
00:09:17,506 --> 00:09:20,706
Speaker 1: league's very best. Matt Ryan is also a top ten

140
00:09:20,866 --> 00:09:24,826
Speaker 1: all time passer who produced big numbers. In eleven. Mattie

141
00:09:24,826 --> 00:09:29,026
Speaker 1: Ice posted the first of ten straight four thousand yards seasons,

142
00:09:29,306 --> 00:09:32,226
Speaker 1: leaving the Falcons to ten wins. One of those was

143
00:09:32,266 --> 00:09:38,106
Speaker 1: a sixteen point comeback victory in Carolina. All Right looks glows.

144
00:09:38,346 --> 00:09:41,146
Speaker 1: He got it touched down at Latta straight draw us

145
00:09:41,426 --> 00:09:47,746
Speaker 1: looks throws bed of the field touch down a LADDA.

146
00:09:48,026 --> 00:09:50,386
Speaker 1: Bryan holds the record for the most passing yards in

147
00:09:50,426 --> 00:09:53,386
Speaker 1: a player's first thirteen seasons. He is far and away

148
00:09:53,426 --> 00:09:57,386
Speaker 1: the Falcons all time leader in every passing category brilliant

149
00:09:57,426 --> 00:10:01,026
Speaker 1: throwing catch. While Matthew Stafford is not yet in that

150
00:10:01,106 --> 00:10:03,946
Speaker 1: group of top ten all time passers, he did have

151
00:10:04,066 --> 00:10:07,466
Speaker 1: a stellar twenty eleven season, drumming up hope in Detroit

152
00:10:07,706 --> 00:10:14,186
Speaker 1: on Stafford Johnson at just twenty three years old, Stafford

153
00:10:14,226 --> 00:10:17,346
Speaker 1: delivered the best passing season in Lions history, throwing for

154
00:10:17,426 --> 00:10:21,026
Speaker 1: over five thousand yards and forty one touchdowns while leaving

155
00:10:21,026 --> 00:10:25,906
Speaker 1: them to their first postseason berth. Since we talked about Tebow,

156
00:10:25,946 --> 00:10:29,786
Speaker 1: but Stafford was the true comeback king of the former

157
00:10:29,826 --> 00:10:33,186
Speaker 1: first overall pick became the first QB to produce three

158
00:10:33,546 --> 00:10:36,986
Speaker 1: seven team point comebacks in a single season, including a

159
00:10:37,026 --> 00:10:41,946
Speaker 1: masterful five touchdown performance in Week eleven and so touchdown

160
00:10:42,466 --> 00:10:47,186
Speaker 1: Matthew stafford second five touchdown game. The Georgia product would

161
00:10:47,226 --> 00:10:50,466
Speaker 1: again throw for five scores and a league high five

162
00:10:50,586 --> 00:10:54,146
Speaker 1: hundred twenty passing yards in a wild season finale against

163
00:10:54,186 --> 00:10:57,146
Speaker 1: the Packers, a game that produced six lead changes in

164
00:10:57,186 --> 00:11:01,586
Speaker 1: the second half. Blow sounds like an epic Stafford Roger shootout, right,

165
00:11:03,626 --> 00:11:07,106
Speaker 1: I think again. In a season for me with superstar talent,

166
00:11:07,226 --> 00:11:09,946
Speaker 1: it's only fitting that a backup would steal the show.

167
00:11:12,546 --> 00:11:16,626
Speaker 1: Matt Flynn provided the finishing touches on a historic regular season,

168
00:11:16,946 --> 00:11:21,106
Speaker 1: telling a whopping four hundred eighty yards and six touchdowns.

169
00:11:21,186 --> 00:11:25,026
Speaker 1: Six touchdowns. They might be asking Aaron who, yeah, we

170
00:11:25,066 --> 00:11:29,146
Speaker 1: got a quarterback cop at time for the most in

171

200
00:13:06,306 --> 00:13:09,906
Speaker 1: the NFC Divisional round clash between the forty Niners and

201
00:13:09,946 --> 00:13:13,146
Speaker 1: the Saints. That's gonna be a forty nine yard touchdown

202
00:13:13,226 --> 00:13:16,426
Speaker 1: strike to begin our scoring here in Camble. Still, before

203
00:13:16,586 --> 00:13:19,186
Speaker 1: he was the comeback Player of the Year, Alex Smith

204
00:13:19,306 --> 00:13:22,986
Speaker 1: was a struggling young quarterback in San Francisco, but under

205
00:13:23,026 --> 00:13:26,586
Speaker 1: the tutelage of Jim Harribas, Smith guided San Francisco to

206
00:13:26,666 --> 00:13:30,426
Speaker 1: a thirteen and three record and an NFC West title.

207
00:13:31,026 --> 00:13:34,226
Speaker 1: That's where he met Drew Brees, setting up a late

208
00:13:34,306 --> 00:13:39,626
Speaker 1: game flurry for the Ages. The shop touch stop. Smith

209
00:13:39,666 --> 00:13:42,346
Speaker 1: got the forty Niners out to a seventeen nothing lead,

210
00:13:42,386 --> 00:13:46,106
Speaker 1: but Breeze stormed back with four minutes left. The Saints

211
00:13:46,146 --> 00:13:57,466
Speaker 1: trailed by just six points. First off touchdowp forty four yards. Scareful,

212
00:13:58,386 --> 00:14:07,226
Speaker 1: they will check himself. First yard at thirty forty ft

213
00:14:07,586 --> 00:14:13,146
Speaker 1: field res throws Jimmy Thrim takes the catch inside them

214
00:14:13,666 --> 00:14:15,986
Speaker 1: is inside the ten and he takes it all the

215
00:14:16,066 --> 00:14:21,426
Speaker 1: way for eight seeds probably had touchdown sixty six yards

216
00:14:21,946 --> 00:14:26,946
Speaker 1: stay second down, he talks to the top of dy Davis, Davis,

217
00:14:27,146 --> 00:14:31,186
Speaker 1: this is easide the thirty to thirty one second treading

218
00:14:31,346 --> 00:14:36,546
Speaker 1: forty seven yards from Smith to Dais swim from third

219
00:14:36,586 --> 00:14:43,506
Speaker 1: and three he throws, treats the Cochers Das Fuckings touchdown

220
00:14:44,266 --> 00:14:49,186
Speaker 1: Alex spin with the play of his life. Four touchdown

221
00:14:49,306 --> 00:14:53,746
Speaker 1: drives and four lead changes in four minutes. Just incredible

222
00:14:54,146 --> 00:14:57,746
Speaker 1: and if you like duel threats, was also the season

223
00:14:57,786 --> 00:15:01,306
Speaker 1: for you. Mike Vick, fresh off a comeback campaign of

224
00:15:01,426 --> 00:15:04,906
Speaker 1: his own, through for a career high three thousand, three

225
00:15:04,986 --> 00:15:08,226
Speaker 1: hundred yards while adding nearly six hundred more on the

226
00:15:08,266 --> 00:15:11,906
Speaker 1: grounds with a clear lane, takes it outside. It's the

227
00:15:11,946 --> 00:15:15,026
Speaker 1: first and next thumb and that is the vintage Michael

228
00:15:15,146 --> 00:15:18,546
Speaker 1: Vick that Eagles fans have been waiting for this season.

229
00:15:18,786 --> 00:15:22,106
Speaker 1: In Week five, Vick cemented himself as the most prolific

230
00:15:22,186 --> 00:15:25,866
Speaker 1: running quarterback in NFL history. There he goes take run

231
00:15:25,906 --> 00:15:28,546
Speaker 1: by Michael Vick, bake top of block from the summer

232
00:15:28,626 --> 00:15:34,026
Speaker 1: Pride of ten Michael Vick. They completly all time leading,

233
00:15:34,146 --> 00:15:38,426
Speaker 1: looked her above quarterback, but then came superman second in

234
00:15:38,506 --> 00:15:42,666
Speaker 1: gold looton Dons and he's head in touchdown. Cam Newton

235
00:15:42,826 --> 00:15:47,266
Speaker 1: with his first NFL rushing touchdown, the top pick in eleven.

236
00:15:47,386 --> 00:15:51,066
Speaker 1: Cam Newton wasted it no time, established himself. He puts

237
00:15:51,106 --> 00:15:55,266
Speaker 1: it up. He's got about. Cam sat a rookie record

238
00:15:55,346 --> 00:15:58,106
Speaker 1: with four hundred twenty two passing yards in Week one,

239
00:15:58,546 --> 00:16:01,586
Speaker 1: before topping his own mark the very next game. Cam

240
00:16:01,626 --> 00:16:04,386
Speaker 1: Newton rushes on, puts on Newton. He stucks up now

241
00:16:04,506 --> 00:16:09,186
Speaker 1: rainbows it deep town the middle, first shoulder catch, sixty

242
00:16:09,426 --> 00:16:12,546
Speaker 1: three yard pass flayer. The Heisman winner finished with more

243
00:16:12,626 --> 00:16:16,346
Speaker 1: combined passing and rushing yards than any rookie quarterback in

244
00:16:16,346 --> 00:16:19,346
Speaker 1: a single season. I didn't see him starting this way.

245
00:16:19,426 --> 00:16:21,586
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you that. Wow. He also set a

246
00:16:21,666 --> 00:16:26,226
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback record with fourteen rushing touchdowns, a milestone that

247
00:16:26,306 --> 00:16:35,466
Speaker 1: stood for the previous thirty five years. As of today,

248
00:16:35,506 --> 00:16:39,426
Speaker 1: he leads all quarterbacks in career rushing touchdowns and trails

249
00:16:39,506 --> 00:16:46,786
Speaker 1: only vic in rushing yards among qbs. How about Tony Romo,

250
00:16:47,026 --> 00:16:50,106
Speaker 1: who is having another impressive year in Dallas. Tell you

251
00:16:50,146 --> 00:16:52,706
Speaker 1: another thing about Tony Romo. When there's a bust of coverage,

252
00:16:52,746 --> 00:16:56,306
Speaker 1: he doesn't miss. Romo was his clutch guts he self

253
00:16:56,306 --> 00:17:01,826
Speaker 1: in I was called Romo, touch posting nearly four thousand,

254
00:17:01,866 --> 00:17:05,746
Speaker 1: two hundred yards and thirty one scores while peppering up

255
00:17:05,746 --> 00:17:09,186
Speaker 1: oponents with the occasional fourth quarter miracle against the Niners.

256
00:17:09,186 --> 00:17:12,586
Speaker 1: In Week two, playing through cracked ribs, the undrafted vet

257
00:17:12,666 --> 00:17:16,226
Speaker 1: put on a signature performance to orchestrate a late dame

258
00:17:16,266 --> 00:17:40,666
Speaker 1: comeback to that definitely good goodness, Jess Dallas rallies. In fact,

259
00:17:40,786 --> 00:17:45,066
Speaker 1: Romo was the offense accounting for two of the Cowboys

260
00:17:45,106 --> 00:17:48,266
Speaker 1: touchdowns that year, the highest such mark in the league.

261
00:17:48,466 --> 00:17:52,306
Speaker 1: He's the Cowboys all time leader in passing yards and touchdowns,

262
00:17:52,506 --> 00:17:55,586
Speaker 1: and oh, by the way, he's the highest rated passer

263
00:17:55,666 --> 00:17:58,786
Speaker 1: with at least four thousand attempts to never appear in

264
00:17:58,826 --> 00:18:01,466
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl. Before we put a bow on the

265
00:18:01,546 --> 00:18:05,506
Speaker 1: year of the quarterback, let's rewind ton Week three, where

266
00:18:05,746 --> 00:18:11,146
Speaker 1: Euro emerged in Buffalo. The Patriots may have been familiar

267
00:18:11,186 --> 00:18:13,866
Speaker 1: with the minute men, but they certainly weren't prepared for

268
00:18:13,906 --> 00:18:16,666
Speaker 1: the Amish rifle. It's Patrick looking it again. Phil got up.

269
00:18:17,506 --> 00:18:21,146
Speaker 1: That's right, we're talking about Ryan Fitzpatrick. After two turbulent

270
00:18:21,186 --> 00:18:24,066
Speaker 1: seasons with the Bills, the legend of fitz Magic was

271
00:18:24,106 --> 00:18:28,746
Speaker 1: born in an epic clash with Tom Brady. Down by seven,

272
00:18:29,386 --> 00:18:31,826
Speaker 1: the fourth border left side got a man open and

273
00:18:31,946 --> 00:18:34,786
Speaker 1: it is I thought it's at the New England thirty

274
00:18:34,826 --> 00:18:38,346
Speaker 1: five yard line. Oh yeah, first down fitsuper center ret

275
00:18:38,386 --> 00:18:42,426
Speaker 1: texting gets the call, pride forward, touchdown Buffalo. It's Patrick

276
00:18:42,506 --> 00:18:44,946
Speaker 1: takes the snap, sets up fighter's cup by FARTI at

277
00:18:44,946 --> 00:18:51,626
Speaker 1: the forty five at the city to go for the win.

278
00:18:51,826 --> 00:18:56,026
Speaker 1: Three seconds slap pick us up the kicks cut about

279
00:18:56,066 --> 00:18:59,306
Speaker 1: pals have to feed it the New England Patriots. To date,

280
00:18:59,546 --> 00:19:02,306
Speaker 1: fits is the only quarterback to both start and throw

281
00:19:02,346 --> 00:19:07,106
Speaker 1: a touchdown pass for eight different NFL team ineen, he

282
00:19:07,186 --> 00:19:10,066
Speaker 1: became the only player in history to post three straight

283
00:19:10,426 --> 00:19:13,946
Speaker 1: four hundred yard passing games during that Week three shootout.

284
00:19:14,026 --> 00:19:17,746
Speaker 1: Both Fitzpatrick and Brady were among the eight different quarterbacks

285
00:19:17,826 --> 00:19:20,226
Speaker 1: to throw for at least three hundred and fifty yards

286
00:19:20,786 --> 00:19:23,306
Speaker 1: at the time that was an NFL record. One of

287
00:19:23,386 --> 00:19:27,626
Speaker 1: the others was Ravens postseason hero Joe Flacco looking left

288
00:19:27,706 --> 00:19:29,786
Speaker 1: on me their fires right black of goals his part

289
00:19:29,826 --> 00:19:35,226
Speaker 1: side like hey, he's got horns. The Delaware product towards

290
00:19:35,306 --> 00:19:38,226
Speaker 1: the Ramps for three touchdowns in the first quarter alone

291
00:19:40,826 --> 00:19:43,986
Speaker 1: and finished the year with his third consecutive three thousand,

292
00:19:44,106 --> 00:19:48,506
Speaker 1: six hundred yard and twenty touchdown season. Flacco two is

293
00:19:48,546 --> 00:19:52,986
Speaker 1: a franchise passing leader, leaving the Ravens in career completions, yards,

294
00:19:53,146 --> 00:19:56,146
Speaker 1: and touchdowns. He also has the best career numbers of

295
00:19:56,226 --> 00:19:59,226
Speaker 1: any quarterback to never make a Pro Bowl. In fact,

296
00:19:59,546 --> 00:20:02,946
Speaker 1: that season, twelve teams boasted a starting quarterback who was

297
00:20:03,466 --> 00:20:07,266
Speaker 1: or would become their franchise pass leader. That's right, over

298
00:20:07,386 --> 00:20:09,506
Speaker 1: a third of the league was being led by their

299
00:20:09,546 --> 00:20:12,826
Speaker 1: all time quarterbacks in two eleven, and that doesn't include

300
00:20:12,866 --> 00:20:15,946
Speaker 1: Donovan McNabb who was no longer in Philly, or Andy

301
00:20:16,066 --> 00:20:18,906
Speaker 1: Dalton who ended his career with the Bangles, just behind

302
00:20:19,106 --> 00:20:22,706
Speaker 1: Ken Anderson for Aaron Rodgers who is still chasing far

303
00:20:23,266 --> 00:20:25,786
Speaker 1: and the name we haven't heard yet in this tale

304
00:20:25,826 --> 00:20:29,466
Speaker 1: of legendary signal callers, Peyton Manning. The biggest story of

305
00:20:29,586 --> 00:20:32,866
Speaker 1: the opening week under the NFL season, easily the first

306
00:20:32,906 --> 00:20:35,506
Speaker 1: time we have ever seen Peyton Manning's name on the

307
00:20:35,546 --> 00:20:39,026
Speaker 1: inactive list. In an ironic twist defeat, the most dominant

308
00:20:39,066 --> 00:20:42,586
Speaker 1: passing season ever was missing the most dominant pastor of

309
00:20:42,706 --> 00:20:46,786
Speaker 1: its era and offseason next surgery in eleven, but Manning's

310
00:20:46,866 --> 00:20:49,866
