Trivia for January 24, 2019

Question

Brandin Cooks went for 100 yards for New England against Jacksonville in the AFC Championship last year, and he went for 107 for the Rams at New Orleans on Sunday. Who are the only other two active players who’ve gone for 100-plus receiving yards in playoff games for two different teams? They both entered the league as first-round picks in the same year; one has played for five different teams.

Answer

Ted Ginn and Greg Olsen. Olsen caught 3 passes for 113 yards and a touchdown for the Bears in a playoff win over Seattle in January, 2011. After being traded to Carolina, he’s had two more 100-yard games in the postseason. Ginn caught 4 passes for 115 yards and a touchdown for New Orleans against Carolina last year. Five years ago, playing for the Panthers, Ginn went for 104 yards in a loss against San Francisco. The all-time king of this category is retired tight end Keith Jackson, who had 100-yard games for three different franchises – Eagles, Packers, Dolphins.

Randall,I think you would be correct if the question didn't have the word active in it.I think TO received 106 yards for Sf in 02 and 122 yards for Phil in 04 both playoff games.My favorite stat on him is he is the only player in history to catch a TD pass against all 32 NFL teams.He also holds record for catching 2 TDs vs all 32 teams!

Ben, that’s a great tidbit on Terrell Owens. He sure had the statistics but I was never sure if he helped his team win on the field. For the Eagles he had a great season in 2004 but was out for most of the playoffs. He then proceeded to destroy the team the following year.

Robert,I agree he is a high maintenance arrogant AHole as is other high profile,better than everyone players that have child like temper tantrums . Not to mention names is two Steelers, with both last names ending in B. That said, TO made the hall of fame.
