![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Hunter still has the single-game record for passing yards (484) but he lost 27 yards rushing in that same game. He went from 457 yards of offense, which tied Scott Hunter (1969) for most in a single game, to all alone at the top with some significant breathing room. Sims gained 53 yards on the ground and ultimately lost 14 on the day to finish with 39 rushing yards. Sims, though, should only have been docked 6-the distance between the line of scrimmage and where it was recovered (Florida's 38). On his second-quarter fumble, Sims was inaccurately docked 33 rushing yards-the distance between the line of scrimmage (Florida's 32-yard line) and where Florida ultimately finished with it (Alabama's 35).

The surprise is, with all the advancements in the passing game, and with all the benefits given to offenses in general with rules in the last few decades, that Van Brocklin accomplished this feat for the Los Angeles Rams against the New York Yanks on September 28, 1951.Īt the half of the Buffalo Bills’ game against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, Bills quarterback Josh Allen is on pace to not only break, but to smash, Van Brocklin’s record. Not that it’s odd that Van Brocklin would set the record - the man is a Pro Football Hall-of-Famer, after all.
