Mind-boggling stats: Triple Crowns

There are very few players in NFL history who have achieved Triple Crowns during their careers. Take a look at the players who are crown winners.

Since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger, three players have had a passing TD, rushing TD and receiving TD in the same game. San Diego Chargers' LaDainian Tomlinson had the touchdown triple crown in 2005, New England Patriots' David Patten achieved the feat in 2001 and Chicago Bears great Walter Payton pulled it off in 1979.
