Most passing yards thrown in a nfl game8/21/2023 On December 20, 2015, Newton faced the New York Giants. Newton is the best running quarterback of the post-Vick era (Lamar Jackson is getting there but doesn't yet have the body of work Newton does) and it is unsurprising he managed to hit these marks. He went 36-of-54 with two touchdowns and an interception, while rushing 12 times to reach that 109-yard mark. Josh AllenĪs discussed above, Allen passed for 308 yards and ran for 109 yards in the Bills' loss to the Bucs. Who are the other quarterbacks that Allen joined in getting to those numbers? Let's take a look. To accomplish both in the same game requires a particular set of circumstances- in Allen's case, Buffalo simply refused to hand the ball off to any of their running backs, so he was the de facto first-string RB and QB. This may come as a surprise, given the rise of athletic quarterbacks who can run nearly as well as they pass since the Michael Vick era, but it makes sense usually a quarterback only has to do one or the other in order to win. In the process, Allen accomplished a rare feat: he became only the third quarterback ever to pass for 300 yards and rush for 100 yards in the same game. The fact that the game even went into overtime was remarkable, and Allen nearly ended the game himself late in the fourth quarter. The quarterback put forth a heroic effort in the second half to drag the Bills back from a multi-touchdown deficit. It was a brutal loss, but no one can blame Josh Allen for it. The Buffalo Bills lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in overtime on Sunday afternoon by the score of 33-27.
