Trivia for January 27, 2021

Question

When Kansas City played at Tampa Bay earlier this year, Tyreek Hill caught 13 passes for 269 yards and 3 TDs. Who are the only two active players who at some point in their careers had games with even more receiving yards?

Answer

Julio Jones and Antonio Brown. Brown in 2015 had a game with 284 yards against the Raiders (he’ll, of course, also be playing in the Super Bowl – assuming his knee is OK). Jones went for 300 yards in a game against Carolina in 2016.

In the Antonio Brown game what record was he a part of setting that day?

I think I know what you're gunning for. (I play in a TD-only league.)

It's not about TDs

Was it most receiving yards in a game without scoring a TD?

I was thinking the same as Ben, but it's something else.

Maybe it was 1st player to have 2 games with at least 16 catches in a season or was it 4 games of at least 175 yards in a season which was also a NFL record?

"part of setting". That is, it must involve other players. I looked at the boxscore. DeAngelo Williams went over 200 yards (I think 170 rushing and 55 receiving). Brown went over 300 (he ran for 22 yards). So I'm thinking probably the most combined yards for a pair of players or the first time a RB-WR had gone over 500 yards. Something along those lines.

Ian is correct. Brown had 306 yards from scrimmage and Williams had 225. That's 531 yards from teammate RB and WR in the same game which is an all time record and there is no other duo even close. As a Raider fan you probably heard me that day yelling " TACKLE SOMEBODY".
