Five Obscure NFL Records That Can Be Broken in 2011

As an NFL fan, it's always exciting when a popular record is broken. 

Peyton Manning is threatening most of Brett Favre's career passing records, as well as his streak of consecutive games played. 

The single-season passing touchdowns record has been broken twice in the past decade, and the single-season touchdowns record has been broken three times since 2003.

But what about the records that don't really receive the hype because nobody knows about them?

Here are five of the better ones. 

1. Donovan McNabb: Most QB Playoff Victories Without a Super Bowl Title

During his 12-year NFL career, Donovan McNabb has won nine postseason games against seven losses, for a solid winning percentage of .563.

He's played in the conference championship game five times and once in the Super Bowl.

But he's never won a Super Bowl. With one more postseason victory, he will pass Jim Kelly for most playoff wins without a Super Bowl title. 

I guess that's both a good and a bad record, although it's going to be remembered solely as a bad record. 

2. Peyton Manning: Most QB Playoff Losses

Technically, this one will just tie the all-time record, not break it.

But if Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning loses one more postseason game, he will tie Brett Favre's career record for postseason losses. Favre is 13-11 in 24 postseason games. Manning is 9-10 in 19 games, including a ridiculous seven one-and-dones.

The Colts are always good enough to make the playoffs but they never win it all (except for once). Manning is likely to lose his 11th next January. 

3. Tiki Barber: Most Years Between NFL Carries (Modern Era)

Hall of Fame running back Bronko Nagurski retired after 1937 and returned in 1943 to carry the ball 73 times. But he returned because the NFL needed players due to World War II.

Tiki Barber retired after 2006, his third straight season of more than 1,500 rushing yards. He announced his intent to return to the NFL several months ago.

If he does, he will set the modern record for a running back with four seasons between carries.

4. Terrell Owens: Most Teams Played for by a Hall of Famer

The NFL record for most teams played for by a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame is six, by Jim Thorpe, Joe Grunyon, and Fritz Pollard. All three players played in the 1920s.

The modern record is five, by Warren Moon, Tommy McDonald, and James Lofton.

Wide receiver Terrell Owens is at five teams right now (49ers, Eagles, Cowboys, Bills, Bengals), and he'll likely be on a sixth team next season.

And say what you want about his antics, but Terrell Owens will be in the Hall of Fame one day. 

5. Fred Taylor: Most Non-Pro Bowl/All-Pro Seasons by a RB

And Fred Taylor.

The first two running backs had exactly 13 seasons in their NFL career in which they did not make a Pro Bowl or earn an All-Pro Bowl selection.

Fred Taylor has had 12, and if he plays at all next season, he'll have his 13th non-Pro Bowl/All-Pro season.
