The NFL It is a league with more than a hundred years and thousands of matches in its history. With so much travel, American football has great brands that seem hard to topple.

The SportingNews presents one of them: most touchdowns by a player in a season NFL regular.

Who is the quarterback with the most touchdowns in an NFL regular season?

In 1998, at the age of 22, Peyton Manning he came to the Indianapolis Colts. There he forged a legacy and in 2006 he got his big prize: winning the Super Bowl against the Chicago Bears 29-17. After missing the 2011 season with a neck injury, the quarterback moved on to the Denver Broncos, where he made more history. In 2015, against the Carolina Panthers, he added a new ring and decided to retire.

Two years earlier, the QB posted the best individual campaign: no one threw more touchdowns during a regular season. In 16 games, Peyton had 55 TDs. That year he won the MVP, although the joy was not complete, after losing the Super Bowl to the Seattle Seahawks: those led by Russell Wilson shone 43-8.

During his time with the New England Patriots, Tom Brady had many teammates that he got along with perfectly, and his six Super Bowl rings attest to that. In 2007 he signed a unique connection with Randy Moss, which set a new passing touchdowns record for a receiver. In 16 games, Moss finished with 23 receptions in the red zone (plus 1,493 yards).

That season, Moss finished with an average of 93.3 yards per game, just shy of his career high of 102 in 2003 with the Minnesota Vikings (he had 17 TDs). It’s also worth noting what Jerry Rice did in 1987, who also had 23 TDs, although 22 of them were through the air (the rest were on the ground). The San Francisco 49ers WR accomplished all of this in just 12 games!

The Chargers, in both their time in San Diego and Los Angeles, have not been able to get a Super Bowl ring this time, but they do hold the record for most touchdowns by a running back. LaDainian Tomlinson established it in 2006: finished with 31 TDs in 16 games (28 of them on the ground).

The remarkable thing about this campaign is that for eight weeks he has scored at least twice in every game and that in the last two games he has been dry. He scored four TDs on three occasions: The San Francisco 49ers, Cincinnati Bengals and Denver Broncos suffered.

Just as Randy Moss took advantage of Tom Brady to set the record for most passing TDs by a wide receiver, Rob Gronkowski he also took advantage of the QB magic. The dominant tight end formed an explosive duo with the quarterback, and in 2011, No. 87 set the all-time mark for a player at his position: 18 TD (17 by air).

That year he finished with 1,327 yards and an 82.9 average per game, which was also a record and leading until 2020 and both records were broken by Travis Kelce. The Kansas City TE now holds the records with 1,416 yards and a 94.4 average, respectively.

Metelya – about the possible admission of Russian biathletes to the Olympic Games: “We will be ready”

Victoria Metelya, live on Match TV, assessed the performance of Russian skiers at the World Cup in Davos (Switzerland) and spoke about the possible admission of Russian biathletes to the 2026 Olympic Games.

On Saturday, Saveliy Korostelev and Daria Nepryaeva failed to qualify for the freestyle sprint at the World Cup in Davos, but these results were enough to meet the qualification standard for the 2026 Olympics.

On Wednesday, the Russian Biathlon Union (RUB) filed a lawsuit with the Court of Arbitration for Sport to challenge the exclusion of athletes from Russia from competing under the auspices of the International Biathlon Union (IBU). RBU President Viktor Maigurov reported that the organization will ask CAS to consider the issue under an accelerated procedure.

— How would you evaluate the performance of the Russians at the World Cup in Davos?

– Everything is fine, this is the first start. I wish the guys good luck: follow the intended path. I’m incredibly happy for them. We wrote off after admission, wished all the best, I’m rooting for the guys.

— How much do you believe that Russian biathletes will be allowed to participate in the Olympic Games in January?

“We hope for the best, but things are much more difficult here in this regard, so I don’t really expect miracles; what will happen will happen.” In any case, we will be ready. Even if they don’t take me, I will be happy for our other athletes.

— If you have a chance to go to the Olympics, will you go?

“Of course, it’s not even discussed,” Metelya said on Match TV.

Metelya – about the mass start: “How can you be upset with third place if so many people came to support us”

Biathlete Victoria Metelya, on Match TV, noted the phenomenal support from fans during the 12 km mass start at the second stage of the Alfa-Bank Russian Cup in Tyumen.

The mass start took place on Sunday. Metelya took third place, 21.7 seconds behind the winner Kristina Reztsova and making one penalty. Second was Anastasia Grishina (+13 seconds, 0 misses).

— You threw a bouquet of flowers to the audience, isn’t it a pity?

– Of course not. I would give everything to the audience, look how many people there are. How can you be upset with third place if so many people came to support us? I didn’t hear the clatter of poles or the sound of skis, because there was such a shout here, such support. “It’s just phenomenal,” said the biathlete.

Later on Sunday, the men’s mass start will take place in Tyumen. Watch the live broadcast of the race from 11:50 on the Match TV channel, and the broadcast will also be available on the websites matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru.
