So I'm watching the NFL's Top 10 - Single Season Performances on the NFL Network.
They rank Peyton Manning's 49 TD season as the #1 single season performance.
But what I thought was really interesting was what they said about Roger Craig:

Narrator: Since 1985 only Marshall Faulk has gained 1000 yards rushing and receiving in a single season, so why was Craig's performance more impressive?
Commentator #1: "Disqualify Marshall Faulk automatically for playing in a dome and playing on astroturf."
Commentator #2: "I think the impressive thing was that he did it in San Francisco, on bad turf, on bad fields in December, and I don't want to take anything away from Marshall, but he's indoors, perfect condition, know where every step is."
Commentator #3: "You slip and fall outdoors on grass. It takes a little more. So I'm not dogging Marshall Faulk, but more credit to Roger."
