NFL Record Recently Broken: All-Time Touchdown Record
The Broncos played a lighthearted game of keep-away before Manning was able to actually break the record, but hey – what’s the point of breaking records if you can’t have some fun in the process? Broken by Peyton Manning in just 246 games with his 509th touchdown on Oct 19th, 2014 against the San Franscisco 49ers, this record was previously held by Brett Favre, who set the record in 302 games.

NBA Record Still to be Broken: Most Wins for an NBA Trio
This record is currently held by the undisputedly golden Celtic’s trio of Larry Bird, Kevin McHale and Robert Parish at 540 wins – but that doesn’t mean they’ll hold that title forever. With the Spurs’ trio of Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili and Tim Duncan inching ahead of the equally legendary Lakers’ trio of Adbul-Jabar, Johnson and Cooper last year, it leaves the Spurs about 40 victories away from calling this record their own in 2014. Will the Spurs have a hot year, or leave the Celtic’s record intact?

NHL Record Recently Broken: Most Consecutive Point-Scoring Games
Let’s be real – it ain’t easy to overturn a record set by Wayne Gretsky, but Nathan MacKinnon of the Colorado Avalanche has managed to do it. Most consecutive point-scoring games was broken by Nathan MacKinnon on March 6th, 2014, in his 13th consecutive game. While this record was previously held by Gretsky at 12 games, the impressiveness of this new record-setting player continues when you realize that MacKinnon did this before even turning 20.
