the game as evolved radically. Go back to the Unitas generation before Marino. The average score was prolly something like 20-14. 25 pass attempts was the high end. Half of all passing plays then would today be called roughing the passer. 3/4 of all those pass attempts would now be pass interference. Add that there were 12 & 14 game seasons way back for cumulative numbers. There is definite appreciation to be had of performance relative to eras beyond statistics. That said, it by no means detracts from the significance of the record.
The consecutive TD pass games record is an incredible non cumulative mark that has stood for over 50 years!
