Who holds the National Football League (NFL) single-season touchdown reception record as of 2016?

Randy Moss, who was born in February 1977 and played 14 seasons in the National Football League, holds the NFL single-season touchdown reception record with 23, obtained in 2007. On December 29, the Patriots defeated the New York Giants 38–35, finishing their regular season with a perfect 16–0 record. Moss caught two touchdown passes for a total of 23, breaking the single season record of 22 touchdown receptions previously set by Jerry Rice in 12 games in the NFL strike-shortened 1987 season.

During his 2007 season, Randy Moss obtained touchdowns in 13 of 16 games (including 8 multi-touchdown games), nine 100-yard games, and six touchdown receptions of 40 or more yards.

And some American quizzers complained about an ‘obscure’ cricket question....

Lisa Rayburn

He has a questionable past..yes a great athlete but not a role model by any means

Kath Thomson

Obviously not a well known fact as majority vote was wrong.

Vicky Sutherland, It's okay. We have plenty.

Jacqueline Tattam, San Francisco Forty-niner fan that I am, I have never complained about cricket questions. I don't even "replace" them. I read them. We Yanks might not have baseball if not for Brits like Harry Wright bringing cricket to America.

It's nice that the explanation mentions that Jerry Rice's 22 TD catches came in just 12 games, with Moss catching his 23 in 16.

Chris Braid

Or even 'down.'

Peace, good people of UK and USA. You're supposed to have resolved everything at Paris in 1783.

Richard Rubright

Why ask "as of 2016"? this is 2021 and the record still stands.

Majority vote got it wrong again!
