Question
DeSean Jackson and Pierre Garcon both went over 1,000 receiving yards for Washington last year yet combined for only 7 TD. When is the last other time a team put a pair of wide receivers over 1,000 yards with them combining for fewer than 10 touchdowns? Looking at 1997, with a pair of receivers who had good careers (one had nine 1,000-yard seasons, and the other five).
Answer
Jacksonville, with Jimmy Smith and Keenan McCardell scoring 9 TDs. Going further back, we’ve got the Rams in 1990, with Henry Ellard and Flipper Anderson combining for 8 TDs, and the Oilers in 1986, with Drew Hill and Ernest Givins combining for 8 TDs.
