1. Johnny Unitas throwing a touchdown pass in 47 consecutive games (1956-60)
It doesn’t matter that the mark has been eclipsed in recent years by Drew Brees and Tom Brady and could be surpassed by Peyton Manning in 2014. Unitas’ record will forever be more impressive due to the era in which he played that catered to pass defenses compared to the pass-happy, wide-open brand of professional football today.
The fact that the record stood for 52 years shows just how impressive the feat was as it held up against countless rules changes that benefited offense until Brees finally broke the mark in 2012. However, research suggests a 63-game streak today is roughly the equivalent of Unitas’ mark, making it fair to point out that Brees and Brady fell far short of that adjusted target.
