Template:Short description Template:Use mdy dates In the history of the National Football League (NFL), 22 different quarterbacks have passed for at least 500 yards in a single game 27 times, a feat also referred to as the "500 Club".[1][2][3][4]

History

Norm Van Brocklin was the first to do so, whose 554-yard performance in a 1951 game remains the league record for most passing yards in a game.[5]

Only three quarterbacks have thrown for over 500 yards more than once in their career; Drew Brees and Tom Brady did so twice (both of Brees' 500-yard games occurred in regular season games, while Brady had one 500-yard game each in both a regular season game and a postseason game), and Ben Roethlisberger did so four times (three times in the regular season and once in the postseason).[6] Kirk Cousins became the latest member of the club, after a 509-yard performance on October 3, 2024 against Tampa Bay. No quarterback has thrown for 600 yards in a league game during regulation, but Tom Brady was the first player to total 600 or more yards passing over four consecutive quarters.[7] If counting interception return yards, then Jameis Winston holds the league record with a 668-yard game (497 passing + 171 return yards).[8][9]

Brady and Roethlisberger are the only quarterbacks to have thrown for over 500 yards in a postseason game during the modern era; Brady did so in a Super Bowl LII loss to the Philadelphia Eagles during the 2017–18 playoffs while Roethlisberger did so in a Wild Card round loss to the Cleveland Browns during the 2020–21 NFL playoffs.[10][11] Quarterbacks throwing for 500 yards have amassed 15 wins and 12 losses while doing so. Over time, the frequency of quarterbacks throwing for 500 or more yards in a game has increased, with 17 of 27 such performances occurring since 2010.
