He led Atlanta to an upset of the heavily favored Green Bay Packers in the 2002 playoffs, handing the Packers their first-ever home playoff loss at Lambeau Field, and guided the Falcons to a division title and an NFC Championship Game appearance following the 2004 season. His improvisational genius made him one of the defining and most popular players of his era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe NFL's Record-Setting Dual-Threat Quarterback\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVick's rushing accomplishments rewrote the record book for the quarterback position. \u003cstrong\u003eIn 2006, he became the first quarterback in NFL history to rush for over 1,000 yards in a single season (1,039), setting a single-season record for rushing yards per carry by a quarterback at 8.4 — and he and teammate Warrick Dunn became the first quarterback-running back duo to each surpass 1,000 rushing yards in the same season.\u003c\/strong\u003e He set the then-NFL single-game record for rushing yards by a quarterback with 173 against the Minnesota Vikings in 2002, and an NFL postseason record with 119 rushing yards in a playoff game. When he retired, Vick held the NFL's all-time record for career rushing yards by a quarterback (6,109). After a four-year hiatus, Vick returned to the league with the Philadelphia Eagles and authored one of the great comeback stories in NFL history — setting career highs with 3,018 passing yards and 21 touchdowns in 2010, earning a Pro Bowl selection and the 2010 NFL Comeback Player of the Year award. He finished his 13-year career with 22,464 passing yards, 133 passing touchdowns, and 6,109 rushing yards, and his influence is visible in the modern dual-threat quarterbacks who followed him.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBeckett (BAS) Authentication\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis helmet has been certified authentic by \u003cstrong\u003eBeckett Authentication Services (BAS)\u003c\/strong\u003e.
