Manning only played the first offensive series of the last game of the 04 season. Before that, he was pulled early in the 4th quarter in several games. Tom was actively going for that record and played every second he could to get it.
It also took Brady 60 more passes than Manning to get to 49 and one game longer.
As for Moss, Jerry Rice had 22 TDs in a 12 game season (shortened by strike).
But a season record is a season record and Moss and Brady own the TD records.
