TARK'S TD TOTAL FADING
Fran Tarkenton was in his 15th season when he won the 1975 NFL MVP award while moving past Johnny Unitas in career touchdown passes.
After breaking Johnny U's nine-year-old mark of 290, the Vikings quarterback would stretch his total to 342 and hold the record for 20 years until Dan Marino overtook him in 1995.
Today, Tarkenton is on the verge of falling out of the top 10. Matt Ryan needs 11 touchdowns to drop Tarkenton to 11th.
Meanwhile, the career touchdown passes list could have a new leader as early as Sunday.
