19 consecutive regular wins will be broken a little after 4pm on September 7th.
Personally out of all those records the Moss one is still the one that amazes me the most and the one I don't see being beat any time soon. Even though the former record was only one less and done in less time I still find it an amazingly tough thing to accomplish.
OK . . . I should have clarified this: I'm referring to the next time a team compiles 19 RS wins, regardless of how far the Pats' current streak goes.

I voted for the kicker as well. To beat that record, a team first has to score 75 or more TDs, attempt extra points on 75 or more of those TDs, and then convert all those extra point flawlessly.
Not going to happen in our lifetimes.

For every time he kicks one out of 60 or 65 xtra points this upcoming season, they should tell Ghost to hit it like its a 47 yard field goal. Then they can have a camera tech plot out it trajectory and give BB stats on Ghosts percentage from 47 yards. Then there is a track record for a decision in week 19.
One point about this--the hard part is not doing it flawlessly. After all, Rian Lindell has not missed an XP attempt in eight seasons with the Bills (248/248). The hard part is that it has to be done 75 times in a season.
...
Thanks. Lindell's is a remarkable record. I checked a usually reliable NFL reference source and only two retired kickers made 100% of their career PAT attempts. Tommy Brooker, who played with the Dallas Texans and Kansas City Chiefs from 1962--66 (149/149 with a high of 46/46) and Paul Edinger of Da Bears and Vikings from 2000--2005 (164/164 with a high of 34/34).
I honestly don't know whether it's harder to make 74 consecutive in a single season or 248 consecutive over eight seasons, and I guess the only folks who can give an authoratative answer to that question are actual NFL kickers. But each record is remarkable.
Gary Anderson made 820 of 827, but his best consecutive years string was five from 1996 to 2000. However, in 1998, not only did he make 59 of 59 PAT attempts but he went 35 for 35 in FG's, for a perfect kick string of 94 for 94! Ghost actually missed three of his FG attempts last year, going 31 for 34, so his overall record was "only" 106/109. So, Anderson's 94 for 94 is probably the best year that any NFL PAT or FG kicker ever had. A contrarian might observe that Anderson set that mark playing an assured 50% of his games in a Dome (Minn), which makes Lindell's accomplishment in Buffalo all the more remarkable. However, Anderson also had to kick in Lambeau and Soldiers Field that year.
Jason Elam, who has made 601 of 604 career PAT attempts, made 100% of his kicks for eight seasons between 1994 and 2001, but only played in 13 games in 2000.
