Whether you're an armchair quarterback or a fantasy football freak, this is a stat-head's dream. What it lacks in sparkle it makes up for in a cavalcade of numbers, rankings, comparisons, and lists. Just try to stump this book: which team has the fewest fumbles in a season? The 1959 Cleveland Browns committed a mere eight. Who has the most two-point conversions in one game? Denver's Terrell Davis ran for two against Atlanta on September 28th, 1997. Who is the 20th-best rusher of all-time? None other than the underrated Freeman McNeil, with 8,074 yards. The
Record and Fact Book also includes a season-by-season chronicle of pro football, bios of every Hall of Fame member, definitive team information from the 1997 season (and a play-by-play recap of that season as well), and the important stuff, such as URLs for each team's Web site and team logos. The only thing missing? What John Elway ate for breakfast (Wheaties or Lucky Charms?)
