Progressive Leaderboards Added
Posted by Mike on October 20, 2014
Since Peyton Manning has been in the news a bit today due to his new ownership of the all-time passing TD record, we've gotten a few questions on our Twitter account about progressive leaderboards:
@pfref who had TD record before Unitas? Do you have a page that shows that?

We already had single season progressive leaderboards but today we've added career progressive leaderboards so that you can see who was the NFL's career passing touchdown leader in 1966? You can also see on that list where they rank as of the latest games, so #1 Y.A. Tittle in 1966 has the 19th-highest touchdown pass total in the current day.
You can get to a full list of the career or single-season progressive leaders by going to our main leaderboard index and selecting a stat and a year or from the box on the right of any of the career leaders lists.
Thanks Mike, but where can I see the progressive record for longest Field Goal?
This is awesome. I only wish I hadn't started the work on the article that inspired the question before this was done. It would have saved me much time. You guys are making the best reference site out there better and better, and I love it.
We don't currently have that on the site
