Cowboys win the NFC

tebowlives said:
Two NFL players are tied for the most consecutive games with 125 yards or more receiving. They both missed extending it to 6 by less than 10 in their next game.
They both played for the same franchise.
One is in the Hall of Fame and led the league in receiving yards twice. The other is not and led the league in receiving yardage once.

Guesses? no looking up

I don't understand the whole question, but will take a wild guess. Tim Brown and Randy Moss. My wild card guess is Irving Fryar. And no, I didn't look it up!
 
Oooo, now I'm really thinking about that question. Now I'm thinking it's someone really new, like a Chase for the Bengals. Of course, that means the other guy would had to have played for the Bengals. Or how about Beckam? Hill? Fitzgerald? AB? Or it must be tied with these playoffs, eh? Diggs? Taint been following this the past few years. Hmmm....

I had to look the answer up and I can honestly say I would have NEVER got it. Some clues were given in previous posts. Here is another clue the franchise they played for is a historically bad franchise absolute bottom feeder. A place where ultra elite players go and ultimately retire while still in their primes or at least still have a lot left in the tank.
 
Here is another "trivia" question.
These two players are considered to many the luckiest ever to lace up football cleats. One is a quarterback and the other is a running back.
Both played on teams with a supporting cast. They had either had elite defenses or the best offensive line in history.

These two guys were good players, but would they be considered all time greatest if they played for bad teams? I'm interested seeing which off these two guys you all think is luckier?
 
RIP former Oilers and Texas Southern great WR Ken Burroughs who has passed at a too young 73

Correct.

The other player is Lion Pat Studstill who did it in 1966. He also caught a 99 yarder that year. 1266 yards that year. His next highest was 479 yards

Interesting times , my Vikings went 1-1-1 that season against the sixth place Western Conf Lions ( Lions 2- 0-1 against the Bears ). Lions had Sammy Baugh as QB and running back coach , Dick LeBeau at CB , Alex Karras at DT. Leading rusher and scorer ( other than kicker Garo Yepremian) former Indiana fullback Tom Nowatzke. Lions real problems stemmed from the 28 interceptions the two QBs threw against the 8 TD's they came up with while the leading rusher could only avg 3.4
per carry behind that Off line. Ol' Studstill a pretty good runner for a Punter

They had a history of weak runners back then. 1965-1967 their first pick was a running back. Mel Farr was the only decent runner.

Tarkenton and Chuck Foreman mainly because of the franchise they played for.

Strange question in that,
Sonny Jurgensen is a Hall of Famer and his teams were bad. Barry Sanders played on some bad teams
That said, playing on a good team does get one publicity. More so back in the day since there wasn't much press.

The o line is where it's at imo.
Rams 1986-1990 all 1000 yard rushers except the last one who got 800 and scored 14 TDs
Dickerson- expected but not the rest
Charles White
Greg Bell
Greg Bell
Cleveland Gary

Trying to think of teams that might fit that description.
1960s Packers
1970's Steelers, Raiders, Vikings
1980's 49ers, Redskins
Early to mid 90's Cowboys

I'll stop with the Cowboys since the NFL ceased to exist after 1995.

Brandy's career wasn't made off of having an elite o-line that would be Emmitt Smith's career.
Brady had elite defenses. We will only look at regular season stats from years the patriots won the superbowl, plus the 2007 season where they went undefeated.

2001 #6 team defense - #6 fewest points per game
2003. #1 TD #1 fewest pts/pg
2004. #3. TD. #3 fewest pts/pg
2014. #8. TD. #8. fewest pts/pg
2016. #1. TD. #1 fewest pts/pg
2018. #7 TD. #6 fewest pts/pg

2007 #4 team defense

All stats are taken from Pro Football Reference
