Trivia for February 27, 2023

Question

Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle last year combined for 3,066 receiving yards, the 3rd-most in league history (for a pair of pass catchers). What are the only two teams who’ve had a pair of receivers finish with even more yards? For one of these teams, neither of the pass catchers is in the Hall of Fame. For the other, one of the receivers is in Canton, while the other has been a finalist multiple times.

Answer

Lions and Rams. For the 1995 Lions, Herman Moore and Brett Perriman combined for 231 catches for 3,174 yards and 23 TDs. For the 2000 Rams, Torry Holt and Isaac Bruce combined to catch 169 passes for 3,106 yards and 15 TDs (Bruce is in the Hall of Fame, while Holt has been in contention in recent years). Three other pairs have averaged more receiving yards per game than Hill-Waddle (in 16-game seasons): Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders (2014), Rod Smith and Ed McCaffrey (2000) and Wes Welker and Rob Gronkowski (2011).
