Jones’ game was impressive, but his quarterback’s might have been better. The majority of his receptions came in the first half, but he saved the big play for the end with a 75-yard score on his last catch: He still managed 83 catches for 1,409 yards in 14 games, but he sandwiched the 300-yard game between performances of 16 and 29 yards with a total of three catches. The sixth-best single-game yardage total for a pass-catcher actually came in what may have been Julio Jones’ worst statistical season between 2014-19. 2, 2016: Atlanta Falcons 48, Carolina Panthers 33
Now, if you’ll follow Flipper and I through these doors to the 300-Yard Club, our first stop, where you’ll occasionally be able to put a face to a name but probably won’t confuse this with the Hall of Fame… NFL History’s 300-Yard Club Julio Jones: 300 yards on 12 catches Oct. It’s not Calvin Johnson (but should it be?).
So who’s the leader on this list? It’s not Jerry Rice. That said, Jerry Rice and Calvin Johnson will be making appearances, and they’ll be dressed quite well. It seems less fun until you accept single-game receiving yard records are as much about I-vaguely-remember-that-name anomalies as they are about big names. It seems less fun until you’re informed Brian Hartline is in the top 100, and the record holder on this list had just 267 career receptions and as many career touchdowns as Randy Moss had by age 22. We’ll get by without him, but it somehow feels less fun with no Randy Moss (you can always read our best fantasy football seasons by wide receivers of all-time article to fulfil your Randy Moss cravings). Yeah, Qadry, not even his brother Raghib “Rocket” Ismail of Notre Dame fame. That’s strange because Qadry Ismail is on this list. He’s not in the top five, he’s not in the top 10, he’s not in the top 100.
