Jerry Rice's remarkable season gets an NFL Throwback rewind
A receiving-touchdown countdown joins Rodgers against Newton and a collection of improbable comebacks among ten new uploads.

Rice had 22 in 12 games!
Joe Montana lofts the ball toward Jerry Rice, and NFL Throwback's countdown reaches a season that remains difficult to get your head around: Rice caught 22 touchdown passes while playing just 12 games in 1987.
"Rice had 22 in 12 games!" was the archive channel's most-watched new upload this week, reaching roughly 154,000 views. Its broadcast clips connect generations of quarterback-receiver partnerships: Brett Favre and Sterling Sharpe, Dan Marino and Mark Clayton, Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams. Montana and Rice come next, before Tom Brady finds Randy Moss for the countdown's top spot.
The comments turn that list into a conversation about context. Viewers dwell on Rice's shortened schedule, debate his MVP case and pick out Montana's delivery. Others remember Marino's quick release or the way a deep pass settles into Moss's hands. These are old highlights with plenty left to discuss.
Across ten uploads, the channel also revisited Rodgers and Cam Newton's Packers-Panthers meeting from 2015 and gathered dramatic comeback games. "Super human vs. super human at full display!" has been gathering views much faster than it did on its opening day, making it another active part of the week's lineup.
An older Marino-era upload, "5,000 yards and 48 touchdowns in 1984 is crazy!", currently brings in the most daily views of any video on the channel. The archive added about six million views over the week, while subscribers stayed unchanged. Daily viewing is above its usual level.
Among nearby sports channels, The Rich Eisen Show had a particularly busy week, while NFL Films drew almost the same weekly viewing as NFL Throwback. Here, the enduring draw is football history itself: Marino's extraordinary season is finding an audience alongside Rice's.
