Without giving anything away I looked it up and there is one high up in there I never would have guessed in a million years. Especially with that team.

I was just thinking that a small few might be the one hit wonder type.

I remember Boomer Esiason had some monster games.  Most others I remember are already given.

Esiason is correct.  And I think that may be the one that Tex had been thinking of.....because he did not do it for the Bengals!!!   but as a member of the Arizona Cardinals.

No it was another who is still an active player though not a starter.

Name the  11 QBs who have thrown for the most yards in a single game.   (11 because there is a tie for 10th)   Hint,  about half are active and the other half not. 

Answers:

1. Norm Van Brocklin   554 yards  in 1951.  For Rams

2. Matt Schaub  527   Texans

t2.  Warren Moon   527  Oilers

4. Ben R.   522 Steelers

t4. Boomer Esiason  522   Cardinals

6. Dan Marino  521  Dolphins

7.  Matt Stafford  520   Lions

8.  Tom Brady  517  Pats

t8. Jared Goff  517  Rams

10.  Derek Carr  513  Raiders

t10.  Phil Simms  513  Giants

Best game by Browns QB was the 489 yards by Bernie Kosar in postseason vs. Jets.  That ranks 31st overall.    But that is 2d in postseason play to Tom Brady's 505  in the Super Bowl vs. Eagles.

Kelly Holcomb's  429 vs. Steelers is 10th best in postseason

Jerome Harrison of the Browns has to be on this list. That game vs the Chiefs was B-A-N-A-N-A-S. 

Walter Payton had a monster game that had to be Top 10. 

I'm guessing O.J. Simpson too. *

 

*still not a Jew. 

Harrison had the #3 game.  Payton #5,  OJ  #6

Check on all.

I think that you did one of these way back in your trivia contests and they are tricky not a lot of popular names.

I do remember Corey Dillion for Cincinnati had a great game. 

.........I knew OJ and Sweetness but am drawing blanks.

check on Dillon  #4 game.

And I am sure that I may have at times come up with a similarly themed question.  When you do these either every week, or almost every day for 15 years that can happen.
