Trivia Questions and Answers

I'm still so confused how Manning couldn't be up there with the records he set. So I must not understand the question.
So I am going to tap out at this point
Per the PFR CA metric.....9 players in history achieved a 24 or higher score in a single season. Peyton Manning did not have a season wherein he attained that score. Tom Brady did in 2007. LaDanian Tomlinson did it in 2006. You named OJ who did it in 1975; and Lamar Jackson just last year.
Now...if the confusion is about "how did PFR come up with these scores and how was Manning left off" I will admit that I am clueless how to answer that. I am just going on the numbers. And you will find that when I give the answers that their are some obscure names on there and you will scratch your head saying: "how can this person have been considered to have had one of the greatest seasons of all time". And that will certainly be a fair enough observation.

I wasn't even thinking of what metric someone used. I was just going off of what would be considered statically speaking considered the best seasons.
So no issue with you, with them, etc. I guess I was just thinking of different criteria etc.

Well....as someone said: "It is what it is".
Still 5 more names. I think only 1 or 2 of those could be honestly guessed at.
Hints: NO QBs. One RB.....and all the others are DBs!

That's the problem with this question... it's asking us to come up with the best seasons by some metric we've never heard of or seen.

Oh, just about everyone on here has seen it, talked about it some. Don't know what other kind of metric that would be available that you could place all players, regardless of position into the same pot.
Also, as I said, doing one of these each day does demand some creativity. I will try to come up with something more conventional tonight.

I am again going to refer to the Pro Football Reference Production Average statistic.
According that metric....w 9 players had THE best/most productive seasons in history with an annual score of 24 or more? (It only goes back to like 1960...so don't worry about any years before that)
Name those 9 players.
Putting you all out of your misery.
Answers:
Rolland Lawrence 1977 27
Samari Rolle 2000 27
LaDanian Tomlinson 2006 26
Marshall Faulk 1999 25
Lamar Jackson 2019 25
OJ Simpson 1975 25
Lem Barney 1969 24
Tom Brady 2007 24
Rod Woodson 1990 24.

Oh I bet it does... Not an easy task to come up with something new every day, for sure.

OK, here is today's Trivia Question. Far more traditional I suspect.
In the history of the NFL, 10 players have caught 17 or more TDs in a season. (note: one player did it 3 times, another did it twice.
Name these 10 players (Hint: be mindful of the word "history")
