If one team is blowing out another after the first half, the team that is leading will usually switch to a running game in order to eat up the clock. The 500+ passing yard game usually requires a high-scoring, close game. The NFL is becoming more of a pass-first league, so I expect that you'll see many more 500+ yard passing games over the coming decade. Here are the top 10 passing yard performances in NFL history: The Rams kept the pressure on all game, with Van Brocklin continuing to connect with his wide receivers even after the game was far out of reach. In addition, he also rushed for one touchdown.
Norm Van Brocklin would throw for 554 yards, 5 passing TDs and two interceptions during the romp. The Los Angeles Rams obliterated the New York Yanks by a score of 54-14 on Friday, September 28th, 1951. Coincidentally, both players were with the Houston franchise at the time. Note: the record for the "modern NFL" is co-held by Matt Schaub (November 18th, 2012) and Warren Moon (December 16th, 1990), who both threw for 527 yards. Instead, the record is held by Norm Van Brocklin, who amassed a total of 554 passing yards in a game against the New York Yanks on September 28th, 1951. That's right - the record isn't held by Patrick Mahomes or Tom Brady or Drew Brees or Peyton Manning or any of the other great quarterbacks that have played in the NFL over the past 20-30 years. It's hard to believe that in this day and age, the NFL record for most passing yards in a game is over 50 years old.
