The NFL It is a league with more than a hundred years and thousands of matches in its history. With so much travel, American football has great brands and records that seem difficult to break.
The SportingNews has one that’s been around for a decade and may not last long: more passing yards for a receiver during the regular season.
Who is the receiver with the most receiving yards in an NFL season?
With four NFL titles but none since the Super Bowl began in 1966 (crowns in 1935, 1952, 1953 and 1957), Detroit Lions They are the second team with the most time without a fumble in the NFL, only behind Arizona Cardinalschampion in 1947 when the team was based in Chicago.
Great legends have gone through the franchise without winning a ring, but Calvin Johnson made his mark with a stellar 2012 season. That year, the veteran wide receiver became the player with the most passing yards in an NFL season rushing 1964 with the ball in his hands. In this way he removed the mark from the mythical Jerry Rice (1848).
81, which was the cover of the famous game show Go crazyaveraged 122.8 yards in regular season and finished with 5 TDs. Matthew Stafford, later a champion with the Los Angeles Rams, looked for him 204 times and connected on 122 passes. His average is slightly lower than his Charlie Hennigan, who in 1961 finished with 1,746 in 14 games (124.7). If the account is limited solely to tight endsthe one who amassed the most passing yards in a calendar year is Travis Kelcewith the Kansas City Chiefs (1,416), in 2020;
Why would there be a new brand owner? The NFL instituted a 17-game regular season (one more than before), so players need a lower average yards per game than the former Detroit Lions had. In 2021, with this system, Cooper Kupp came very close and finished just 17 yards behind.
