I thought the list of QBs that threw 7td's a game was interesting because there wasn't anyone that automatically stood out. I actually had to look up a couple of them because I had never heard their names.

Broncos offense this year might be one of the best offenses ever if their Oline can keep it together and provide a run game.

Peyton has TWO games with 6 TD passes too. G.O.A.T.

7 TD passes in single game:

Y.A. Tittle
Joe Kapp
George Blanda
Sid Luckman
Adrian Burk


Only one I've never heard of was Kapp. TWO of those 7 TD games were against the Skins.

Only reason I've heard of Kapp/he's relevant today..

I happened to be reading a Joe Kapp article a couple of days ago. It was really about the Vikings and how they were poised to be the next great team (it was written in 1969) and a big reason was the defense and QB Joe Kapp.

Anyhow, interesting side note on Kapp. He was drafted by the Redskins....in the 18th round (of course, fewer teams back then). He went to the CFL instead

Adrian Burk doesn't ring a bell

The only one I didn't recognize was Burk. The rest I could even tell you a little about their careers. I thought them all pretty famous in their day.

So I looked up Burk - couple cool tidbits from his life after football: He became an NFL referee/official and (1) worked the game in which Kapp tied his record; and (2) was the back judge on the famous Immaculate Reception and was the official to initially signal it a TD.
