Best NFL One-Game Wonders Ever
#3 - Jerome Harrison, RB, Cleveland Browns
Jerome Harrison only had 1,681 yards in a career that spanned seven seasons, but that didn't stop him from breaking Jim Brown's Cleveland Browns rushing record against the Kansas City Chiefs in 2009.

Harrison's extraordinary performance, where he went for 286 yards and three touchdowns, put him third all-time for single game rushing yards, behind greats Adrian Peterson and Jamal Lewis.
Following this performance, Harrison would be named Browns starter for the 2010 season, but was swifty traded to the Philadelphia Eagles and quickly faded away into obscurity before retiring in 2011.
Despite fading away, Harrison will be remembered by many Cleveland Browns fans as the man who broke Hall of Famer Jim Brown's franchise rushing record.
#2 - Matt Flynn, QB, Green Bay Packers
Matt Flynn has only passed for 17 touchdowns across his seven-year NFL career, but six of those came in one game against the Detroit Lions in 2012.
Flynn was the backup to Aaron Rodgers, but got the start as Rodgers was being rested, and Flynn made the most of his opportunity. He passed for 480 yards and six touchdowns in the 45-41 victory, and doing so set the Packers franchise record for passing yards and passing touchdowns in a single game. Yes, Matt Flynn holds the record for Green Bay Packers passing yards and touchdowns in a single game, although both records have now been matched by Aaron Rodgers.
After this performance, Flynn signed with the Seattle Seahawks just two months later, but was beaten out by rookie Russell Wilson in training camp. He, then, became a league journeyman, playing for the Oakland Raiders, Buffalo Bills, Green Bay Packers for a second time, New England Patriots, New York Jets and New Orleans Saints.
He would only start seven career games, but no one will forget his performance on New Year's Day in 2012 against the division rival Detroit Lions.
#1 - Chris Matthews, WR, Seattle Seahawks
Last but not least, we have Chris Matthews, who saved his one-game wonder performance for the biggest stage of all, the Super Bowl.
Matthews went undrated in the 2011 draft, and after being picked up and then released by the Cleveland Browns, he spent time in both the AFL and CFL. Matthews would receive a call for a tryout with the Seattle Seahawks while he was working as a security guard and signed a reserve/future contract for the 2014 season.
Matthews' one-game wonder performance came at the conclusion of that 2014 season in Super Bowl XLIX against the New England Patriots. He caught his first NFL pass, a 44-yard reception to set up a Seahawks touchdown, and he also scored a touchdown on an 11-yard pass from Russell Wilson. Matthews went for 109 yards in total and received recognition for Super Bowl MVP, which eventually went to Tom Brady.
Matthews' career would peak at this moment, as he joined the Baltimore Ravens, but only caught one more touchdown in the NFL before, once again, spending time in the CFL.
Matthews' Super Bowl performance will go down as one of the biggest one-game wonders in NFL history.
