Trivia for January 6, 2023

Question

Pittsburgh’s Diontae Johnson has 844 receiving yards but hasn’t scored any touchdowns. What’s the only city in the Super Bowl era that’s had a player finish more receiving yards without catching a touchdown?

Answer

New York (with a pair). In 1991, Al Toon of the Jets caught 74 passes for 963 yards, with no touchdowns. And in 2013 with the Giants, Hakeem Nicks caught 56 passes for 896 yards, also without a touchdown. Prior to the Super Bowl era, Raymond Berry for the 1961 Baltimore Colts caught 75 passes for 873 yards, with no touchdowns. Johnson enters Week 18 119 yards behind Toon and 1 catch behind running back James Wilder (who caught 85 passes without a touchdown for the 1985 Bucs).

Not many players have caught 15 touchdowns in a season. That's a sort list. I am thinking about it. (I was just looking over lists of productive non-scoring receivers the other day).

Not Alexander. He had a career-high of 10 TD catches.

I should have figured out the Dennis Lyons add-on question. Player led the league in TD catches in 2010. He caught 60 passes with 0 TDs in 2014.

I have checked with the judges. They are not allowing Duane Bowe.
