VAN BROCKLIN 554
Most Single-Game Passing Yards in #NFL History
Los Angeles #Rams quarterback Norm Van Brocklin — the "Dutchman" — throws for an NFL single-game record 554 yards in a 54-14 rout of the New York Yanks at the L.A. Coliseum.
73 years later, even as the pro passing game has greatly proliferated during an age when defenses are much more restricted, Dutch's record still stands.
As there is very little (if any) footage from this game, I've created a short montage of Van Brocklin highlights from his time with the Rams to honor his lasting achievement.
