Gale Sayers ties record with 6 touchdowns in a single game

On December 12, 1965, rookie Gale Sayers scored 6 touchdowns in one game against San Francisco. This feat tied the NFL record for most touchdowns in a game. Sayers was the last player to achieve this until 2020.

It is absurd for a rookie to tie such a long-standing record.
