Impressive that Kurt Warner is 7th place in 300+ yard games. He has to have one of the best ratios of 300+ yard games to games started.
oooh...Drew Bledsoe and Ladainian Tomlinson are good guesses that I didn't think of.
The Cold, Hard, Football Facts - a site which many of you visit I'm sure - tells us often that teams with really good rushing attacks tend to be... not very good.
"In NFL/AFL history, only one team has had five different players record a 100-yard rushing game. Who?"
I believe the answer is the 1978 Kansas City Chiefs, who went 4 - 12.

How in the world did you know that?
Things like that fascinate me. I had seen that fact before, but the receiving yards one I had no idea.
Interests me a lot too.
Any chance of getting a top 100 or so list in the "Leaders" section for this? It'd be cool to see where someone like Tony Romo already ranks among active players in 300+ games. He's had a lot already.
The current Patriots have 5 players with a 100 yard receiving game. They got close with Maroney having 79 yards in a game.
