I'd say four or five of those "feats" are vulnerable. The ones involving longevity are the toughest.

Tom Landry's span of 20 straight years with a winning record should have been in the top 10 as well.

Tony Dorsett's 99 yard run from scrimage CANNOT be broken unless they change the length of the football field. But I suppose that is not the kind of record they are talking about here.

No kidding. There's far less chance of somebody getting that than the 7 sacks.

I think so too. That's more impressive to me than 29 years.

I would not have listed DT's seven sacks first. The Chiefs lost that game. That should matter, i would think. If I remember correctly DT almost had his eighth sack but a a step late and Krieg threw the winning TD.

They're not talking about most impressive or most valuable records. This is a list of records that are going to be the hardest to break.

I get what your saying. I just remember being underwhelmed because of the fact the Chiefs blew that game. The media was nuts here in KC as it should have been, but they lost. Anyway it was fun to watch.

P.S. Ware may have a chance if everything thing line up right.

I would say the #1 record is on a little bit of shaky ground. Jason Garrett is awfully young and has the potential to beat that one. He does not have many wins under his belt as an assistant, but a decade or two of coaching for him is possible. He could be brilliant head coach for a long time!

Two of the records on the list were challenged last year. I'm so sick of list mania. This obsession with ranking everything is beyond annoying.

1965-1983

Landry's offenses were ranked top 10 in the NFL in both yards and scoring. They made the top 10 in both categories every year for 19 years in a row.

That won't ever be broken.
