No, that's not the length of the Chief's playoff drought, it's the last time a quarterback threw 7 touchdowns in one game.

Peyton Manning, 2013.
Joe Kapp, 1969. (Sept. 28, 1969 against the Baltimore Colts, ironically.)

Amazing that it's been that long with today's pass-happy NFL. He easily could have had 8 or 9 too. Our passing game is unstoppable.

Joe Kapp also beat the crap out of some dude on youtube... according to Mannings presser anyway...

I hope Peyton doesn't go picking any fights looking for more Joe Kapp glory.

"Yeah, Joe Kapp right? Great Canadian quarterback out of Cal. He kicked the crap out of a guy on Youtube a couple of years ago too."

--Peyton Manning, reflecting on joining Kapp in the 7 TD club

Good times.

My friends and i were taking bets at halftime after the 3rd.

I picked 5. WAY 2 LOW! Was really amazing to see him do it.

Wanna hear another fun fact? The Chiefs had 8 passing TDs ALL of last season. Peyton will match that by halftime next week.

I wouldn't talk about Joe Kapp too loudly around here, considering he was the opposing head coach in Elways last college game. ;)

Peyton threw 37 TDs last season. After tonight, he only has to average 2 per game the rest of the season to match that. I think he's going to crush last years' performance. 7 TDs, no picks. Phenomenal!

I really want to know how Manning knew this. It's not even on Kapp's wikipedia page in case he was like "well, I just threw 7 TDs, I guess I'll pull up a smart phone and look at his wikipedia entry in case anyone asks me questions about Joe Kapp." That's such an odd, obscure bit of information about a pretty obscure player.

Did he just randomly know this? Is Peyton Manning secretly a computer? (That would explain his enormous head - that's where he stores all that data.)

It's not THAT odd and obscure; I'd seen the clip, and everyone knows I don't know jack about football. ;) Kapp's not all that obscure either; he was the QB for the Vikings the one time they lost a SB without Tarkenton. I think the clip is from his CFL HoF induction, but don't quote me on that. He was a pretty good QB on some pretty good teams, and I'd wager most people old enough to have seen him play remember him. Peytons dad probably does; had he entered the NFL a year sooner they'd have met in his second game.

Speaking of Wikipedia, it has this to say about what the passing of years did to Elways perspective on The Play:
For many years, John Elway was bitter, on both a personal level and on behalf of his team, about the touchdown being allowed: "This was an insult to college football... They [the officials] ruined my last game as a college football player."[14] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Play#cite_note-14) The Play cost Stanford an invitation to the Hall of Fame Classic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All-American_Bowl),[15] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Play#cite_note-15) in addition to a winning season, and Elway completed his college career having never played in a bowl game (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bowl_game). Andy Geiger, the athletics director of Stanford, said that the loss cost Elway the Heisman Trophy.[13] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Play#cite_note-alumni-13) Elway would nevertheless enjoy a tremendously successfulNFL (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Football_League) career, winning two Super Bowls (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Bowl) with the Denver Broncos (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denver_Broncos), and was inducted in both the Pro Football (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pro_Football_Hall_of_Fame) and College Football (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/College_Football_Hall_of_Fame) Halls of Fame. Years later, Elway came to terms with The Play, stating that "each year it gets a little funnier."[13] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Play#cite_note-alumni-13)
Whether getting a little funnier each year is the same as actually BEING funny only Elway can say.

Its ironic too in that Kapp was an awful QB. Just awful. I remember how awful he was. He had one good season (1969), and one superb game (the Colts game - he had all of 12 TD's the rest of the year.) He then gravytrained that one season into a huge (for the time) contract with the Patriots in 1970. In 1970 he threw 3 (count 'em) TD's and 17 Ints. Completion percentage of 44.7%. That was the end of his NFL career.

He practically invented the one-year-wonder-parlayed-into-a-lot-more-money-than-he-is-worth QB tradition. Matt Cassell and others have since ammassed a lot of money via the same route.

Well, before that Colts game he faced them in the playoffs the year they lost to Namath, which was the Vikings first playoff game ever. The next year he took them to their first SB when they only had one Purple People Eater. His stats weren't great, but good enough for a Pro Bowl back when only coaches voted. It's not hard to see why the Pats cut a 32 year old journeyman after drafting Plunkett with the #1 overall pick, but if Kapp were THAT bad he would've stayed in Canada winning Grey Cups (or watching them.) Not saying the guy was Montana, but he wasn't Sanchez.

Funny thing is, considering how Kapp played and how awful the PATS were back then they might've been better off keeping him and drafting a tackle. Plunkett ran for his life so much in New England I've heard it took a couple years in Oakland before he stopped reflexively dropping into the fetal position at the snap (think David Carr with the Texans.)

Oh, I think the Sanchez comparison is very apt, except that Sanchez was a far better QB than Kapp was. Sanchez got the Jets to a couple of AFC title games after all...and without possibly the best pass defense in NFL history in his support.

Kapp and TT is a better comparison.
I saw kapp play, he threw passes end over end, but was tough gritty and stood in the pocket like big ben.
he was stoopid smart making up his own QB keepers, and running for first downs and TDs when his own team didnt even know he had the ball!
entetaining as all hell !
I am not the least bit surprized that PFM new what the record was, and who was the last guy to post it !

Maybe; looking back over the roster now I see they did already have Alan Page (in his third season and second Pro Bowl) to go along with Marshall up front and Krause deep. I'll accept the judgement of those who saw him play live, but he wasn't a nobody and, unlike Sanchez, drew the NFLs interest with a Grey Cup win before ever playing a pro down in the US. Since the CFLs rules are far more pass-friendly than even the current NFLs that suggests at least some passing ability to go with his hardnosed running. But, again, I accept what ya'll saw over what I've heard and read; we've established he's not a forgotten QB regardless. ;)
