Sept. 19, 1965

Jim Brown is the best running back in the NFL, but Lenny Moore is the most consistent touchdown maker. A streak that started in 1963 continues in today's season-opener in Baltimore when the versatile Colts' running back scores a touchdown for the 18th consecutive game, extending his NFL record.

Moore, who led pro football with 20 touchdowns in a 14-game season in 1964, reaches the end zone on a one-yard run in the second quarter against Minnesota. Moore's touchdown is the Colts' first score as they rally from a 10-0 deficit to defeat the Vikings, 35-16, before a sellout crowd of 56,562.

No player will seriously challenge the record. O.J. Simpson has the second-best streak, at 14, in 1975.
