400 Yard Passing Games And the WR/TE/RB Breakdown

by Chase Stuart on September 19, 2017

I like trivia, and Chris Brown asked me a good question on twitter yesterday:

Tom Brady threw for 449 yards vs NO, with only 183 to WRs. When is the last time a QB threw for 400+ with less than 50% to WRs? @fbgchase

The game Brown was referencing was the Patriots performance against the Saints in week 2 of the 2017 season. Here was the receiving breakdown on the New England side:


Player	Tm	Pass Yd	Rec Yd
Rob Gronkowski	NWE	0	116
James White	NWE	0	85
Chris Hogan	NWE	0	78
Phillip Dorsett	NWE	0	68
Rex Burkhead	NWE	0	41
Brandin Cooks	NWE	0	37
Dion Lewis	NWE	0	11
James Develin	NWE	0	6
Jacob Hollister	NWE	0	5
Tom Brady	NWE	447	0

Brady threw for 183 yards to his wide receivers (Hogan, Dorsett, and Cooks), 143 yards to running backs (White, Burkhead, Lewis, Develin) and 121 yards to his tight ends (Gronkowski and Hollister). So that means Brady threw for 400+ passing yards with just 40% of his passing yards coming from his wide receivers.

Based on my research ^[1]And I admit there may be some bugs in here when it comes to position designation: records are not always perfect as to what position a player played. And while this post looks at games where an … Continue reading, there have been two 400-yard passers who threw for less than 100 yards to his wide receiver.

The most recent was this game by Matt Schaub against the Raiders in 2011, when he threw for just 99 yards to his wide receivers. In that game, RB Arian Foster and TE Joel Dreesen both went over 100 yards, and TE Owen Daniels had 89 yards. The other was also against the Raiders, by Dan Fouts in 1985. RB Lionel James had 168 yards, RB Gary Anderson had 84 yards, and TEs Kellen Winslow and Pete Holhan had 35 and 23 yards, respectively.

The table below shows all 400-yard individual passing games from 1960 to 2016, along with the WR/TE/RB breakdown. The year column provides a clickable link to the game’s boxscore.

↑1	And I admit there may be some bugs in here when it comes to position designation: records are not always perfect as to what position a player played. And while this post looks at games where an individual quarterback threw for 400+ yards, there are some games where multiple passers played. As a result, the team receiving yards could (and do, in some cases) exceed the total passing yards by the individual quarterback.
