List Of NFL Quarterbacks Who Have Passed For 500 Or More Yards In A Game
In the history of the National Football League (NFL), 22 different quarterbacks have passed for at least 500 yards in a single game 27 times, a feat also referred to as the "500 Club". History Norm Van Brocklin was the first to do so, whose 554-yard performance in a 1951 game remains the league record for most passing yards in a game. Only three quarterbacks have thrown for over 500 yards more than once in their career; Drew Brees and Tom Brady did so twice (both of Brees' 500-yard games occurred in regular season games, while Brady had one 500-yard game each in both a regular season game and a postseason game), and Ben Roethlisberger did so four times (three times in the regular season and once in the postseason). Kirk Cousins became the latest member of the club, after a 509-yard performance on October 3, 2024 against 2024 Tampa Bay Buccaneers season, Tampa Bay.

1951 Los Angeles Rams Season
The 1951 Los Angeles Rams season was the team's 14th year in the National Football League and the sixth season in Los Angeles.

1996 Washington Redskins Season
The 1996 season was the Washington Redskins' 65th in the National Football League, and their 61st since the franchise moved to Washington, D.C. It was their last season playing at RFK Stadium, where they had played since 1961. They began the season aiming to improve on their 6–10 record from the year before, but after winning seven of their first eight games, they managed just two victories in the second half of the season and finished with a 9–7 record. By virtue of their inferior intra-conference record (6–6) compared to the Minnesota Vikings (8–4), the Redskins became the first team in NFL history to start the season 7–1 and not make the playoffs (this was later matched by the 2012 Chicago Bears). Although the Redskins' offense was eighth in the league in scoring, their defense surrendered 2,275 rushing yards, the most in the NFL that year. Statistics site ''Football Outsiders'' calculated that the team had the worst run defense they had ever tracked. [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
1996 Arizona Cardinals Season
The Arizona Cardinals season was the franchise's 98th season, 77th in the National Football League and ninth in Arizona. The team improved upon their previous output of 4–12, winning seven games. Despite this improvement, the Cardinals failed to qualify for the playoffs for the fourteenth consecutive season. The low point of the season was providing a notorious New York Jets team with its only win in front of fewer than thirty thousand people. This was the first time the Cardinals had opposed the Jets since 1978. The reason for this is that before the admission of the Texans in 2002, NFL scheduling formulas for games outside a team’s division were much more influenced by table position during the previous season. This was Boomer Esiason's only season with the Cardinals as he would re-sign with the Cincinnati Bengals after this season.
