I find this to be a pretty interesting record. We dodged a bullet in 2013 when Brady was snapped two games short. Then in 2014, Manning was stopped 3 games short. After these two scares, I don't think we'll have to worry about anyone coming close for a rather long time.
There's no one even close right now, except this one guy.. Drew Brees. He's at 36 consecutive games right now. No one else is even at 20. I know I'm getting ahead of myself here, but if he goes all 16 games this year with a TD pass.. he'll be at 52, just two games short of his own legendary record when we enter the 2016 season. How freaking incredible would that be?
And to really show how special this is.. His streak was snapped on Thursday Night Football in 2012 at Atlanta, and he started it back up the very next game. That means he's thrown a touchdown in 90 of his last 91 games. Remarkable. It pains me to think about that game, and that season in general really. Can you imagine if Lance Moore didn't drop that wide open touchdown? Or if Pierre Thomas didn't get robbed of a touchdown (was that this game?).. He really could be at 91 straight games with a TD, which would just be absurd.
Here's to our offense steamrolling this league again.. Let's break our 2011 record, but change the ending a little bit.
