Shaun Alexander (28 in '05) held the record for less than a full year. Priest Holmes had it for all of two years (27 in '03), and Marshall Faulk's achievement (26 in '00) lasted just three. Counting Emmitt Smith's then-record-breaking 25 touchdowns in 1995, the mark has been re-established five times in the past 12 NFL seasons. Not exactly Joe DiMaggio's 56-game hitting streak in '41, eh?

Let's face it LaDainian Tomlinson is awesome and disserves everything coming his way. Brees can lose MVP so long as we run deep into the playoffs, I'm cool with that.
