That would be impressive if Calvin Johnson didn’t do it against Green Bay and New Orleans in 2011

Another 1950 entry, courtesy of the highest scoring (PPG) offense of all time [well, at least for now]: Tom Fears 25-387-5. The first of those set a single game reception record (18) that stood for 50 years.
In the championship game Fears was 9-136 and in the 1951 season opener (Van Brocklin’s 554 yard game) he was 7-162, so that’s 523 for 3 games and 685 for 4.

Which brings us back to Gordon, which of course already set the 3 consecutive games mark last week at 623, only to better it again today to 649 and set a new 4 game mark at 774 (125, 237, 261, 151 for those keeping score).
Cleveland being Cleveland, they found a way to lose all of these despite his efforts; today they really had to do something special for that…
