LT vs. PH
As most people should know, LT just broke Shaun Alexanders record for most rushing TD's by a RB in a season. But another record, of relative importance, is also about to be broken
Paul Hornung set the all-time record for points in a season with 176 points, in only a twelve game season, in 1960 on 15 TD's, 41 PAT's, and 15 field goals. LT has scored 29 TD's this year, 26 rushing, and 3 receiving.
Granted, LT still has three more games to pad his stats, but which record, in your opinion, is a greater achievement.

I think it's Paul Hornang's mostly because he was also the kicker, that is nuts.
The TD record has been broken like 3 times in the past 6 years so I don't know if it's that amazing any more even though LT is probably gonna pad it a little more.

Tomlinson has scored 174 points on his 29 TDs, so if that record still stands, it's one TD away from being broken.

It's a shame LT can't kick field goals as well as Nate Kaeding.

I was basing it off the numbers presented. I guess I should check things before commenting.

For some reason, passing TDs count toward neither total. Maybe because when you throw for a TD, you don't actually cross the plane of the goal line?

You can't count those though, or else Peyton's 49 would trump all.

he might've been just comparing the versatility of LT to the versatility in Hornung's statline
Or maybe not.
