Three NFL records that will likely never be broken

Some NFL records were not meant to be broken. From a quarterback that holds the consecutive starts streak to two of the greatest players at their respective positions, these three players were true legends of the gridiron.

I do not foresee any of those records being eclipsed.

One that I bet Bret Favre is hoping gets broken is the most interceptions thrown as a quarterback. With 336 career interceptions he is some 56 ahead of a long retired George Blanda, and his nearest active counterpart is Peyton Manning who is 102 behind him. I don't see Peyton lasting long enough to eclipse this mark. Well, that is, unless every time he throws a pass this season it is intercepted. Even then he may not make it because the Denver Broncos would bench his ass quick.

Sacks in a season, TD passes in a season, rushing yards in a season, and rushing TDs in a season.

Sacks. 200 is a lot to break. Not sure that will happen with the lowering average of 11.7 yrs for a player

I don't think Buffalo's record of making four straight super bowls without winning it will be broken. For a team to dominate their division for that many years in a row without getting over the hump is both amazing, and sad at the same time.

Brett Farve's record will be most difficult and may not be broken. Hard to imagine any NFL player lining for every game for 20 years without getting some injury that keeps them at least game. Modern emphasizes on safety and advanced equipment may help prevent some injuries, but still may not happen.
I believe can be broken, but probably won't be. The challenge is that teams have gotten away from a run-first concept and backs don't get the same opportunities as Emmitt Smith or the benefit of one best offensive lines in the game during that time.
NFL has gone to pass dominant style of play, the reception record will be broken. Teams are passing more every year and receivers are the beneficiaries. Antonio Brown, AJ Green, Odell Beckham, Jr., Dez Bryant, and several other receivers are young enough and talented enough to grab this record by the end of their career. Even though, the numbers look improbable. I still wouldn't count out Calvin Johnson, either.
Bottom line, this records do set a high bar and will be tough to overcome. However, most records people thought wouldn't be beaten, has been. As an NFL, I'll be cheering for the young stars of today to dominate the game, stay a full career, and play hard every snap like these hall of famers
