As the 2026 NFL season approaches, Norm Van Brocklin’s single-game passing record of 554 yards, set nearly 75 years ago, remains unbroken. Current quarterbacks Matthew Stafford, Joe Burrow, Dak Prescott, and Jared Goff are among the candidates who could surpass this milestone. Stafford, having thrown for 520 yards in a past game, now plays in a more balanced Rams offense, limiting his chances. Burrow, with a high of 525 yards, benefits from a pass-heavy strategy with the Bengals. Prescott is known for airing it out with the Cowboys, while Goff has shown potential despite his record in past losses. These players will have opportunities throughout the season to challenge Van Brocklin's long-standing achievement.
