#3 - Matthew Stafford

Detroit Lions QB Matthew Stafford

Matthew Stafford had one of the best statistical games of his entire career in Week 17 of the 2011 NFL season while still a member of the Detroit Lions. While Stafford lost the game in a true shootout to the Green Bay Packers, he completed 36 of his massive 59 pass attempts for 520 yards and five touchdowns.

Much of the damage was done throwing the ball to legendary wide receiver Calvin Johnson, who recorded an incredible 11 receptions for 244 yards and a touchdown. Stafford came close to eclipsing 500 yards in a game again the following year when he recorded 488 yards against the Dallas Cowboys.

Dak Prescott came very close to joining the 500-yard club during Week 3 of the 2020 NFL season in a game against the Seattle Seahawks. He threw for a career-best 472 passing yards, missing the mark by just 28 passing yards. He would set another personal record a week later and join the exclusive club.

In Week 4 against the Cleveland Browns, Prescott completed 41 of his 58 pass attempts for 502 yards and four touchdowns. He spread the ball around the field well, completing at least one pass to nine different players during his efficient performance.

Amari Cooper and Michael Crabtree combined to account for more than half of Carr's production. The duo combined to record 20 receptions for 281 receiving yards.
