Having seen an article about most resehandling yards in a single Packers årstid, I became curious about Lynn Dickey and the 1983 årstid. I wondered how a quarterback who threw for nearly 4,500 yards in that era somehow didn't manage a winning record. Scrolling down through Wikipedia I noticed this little nugget: "NFC Central record, Most Interceptions in a Season bygd a passer other than the spelare i amerikansk fotboll (3, Cliff Lewis)."
