Unbelievable NFL Records: The Jaw-Dropping Single-Game Receiving Yards You Won’t Believe!

So Johnson was 7 yards from the single-game record, but why limit this to 60 minutes? He preceded his 329-yard game with one of 155, and that too ranks second over a two-game span. That record belongs to Josh Gordon’s 498-yard total with the Cleveland Browns in 2013.

But here’s where the conversation-starting tinge of controversy comes in. Johnson had 329 yards in a four-quarter football game. Fourteen years prior, Flipper Anderson’s record came in overtime…

Forget single-game receiving yards for a moment. As a general football number, 336 is still in today’s NFL a solid number when talking about quarterback passing yards for a single game. To everyone. It felt even bigger in 1989 before the NFL passing game became what it is now. Now, consider what it meant for one receiver to haul that in. Prior to Anderson’s game, only 11 players had ever gone over 250 receiving yards. Now, it’s 30.
