Rams quarterback Norm Van Brocklin set the record for most passing yards in an NFL game.ย 

The little-known quarterback threw for 554 yards (and five touchdowns!) against the New York Yanks on Sept. 28, 1951.

Even in the modern age of quarterback play and big stats, Van Brocklinโ€™s record has yet to be broken.ย 

The closest anyone has come was in 2012, when Texans quarterback Matt Schaub went 43-for-55, ending with 527 passing yards and five touchdowns.
