It’s time for 18-game regular season - - MSNBC.com After one week of the NFL’s 2003 season, it’s pretty clear that the concept is not meeting its second objective. First-week play in the 2003 NFL season was sloppier than your teen-ager’s room, with games full of double-digit penalties, fumbles, interceptions, and inept clock management.

It’s not that it’s so unbreakable – Minnesota kicker Gary Anderson came to within 12 points of it in 1998 – but the uniqueness of Paul Hornung’s NFL-record 176 points in 1960 is that he did it in 12 games, and also as a running back and a kicker.
