Pro Football Focus recently noted that only two teams in NFL history have had a 4,000-yard passer, a 1,500-yard rusher and a 1,500-yard receiver in the same season.
The 1995 Detroit Lions and the 1999 Indianapolis Colts.
The one and only common denominator: Minnesotan Tom Moore, born in Owatonna, raised in Rochester and, yes, still coaching football for a 57th fall since starting off as an Iowa graduate assistant 60 seasons ago.
The guy who was Terry Bradshaw’s quarterbacks coach in Pittsburgh and Peyton Manning’s offensive coordinator in Indianapolis is now Tom Brady’s 81-year-old consultant in Tampa Bay.
