Common NFL Most Regular Season Passing Yards Questions:
What is the record for most passing yards in a single season?
In 1984, Dan Marino threw for 5,084 yards in a single season. It seemed as if that record may stand forever as nobody in the 1980s or 1990s came even close. Drew Brees in 2008 made a run at it in 2008, but fell just 15 yards short.
Then the 2010s happened and it was broken by Drew Brees with 5,476 yards. He would only hold that record for two years until Peyton Manning put up 5,477 yards in 2013 for the Denver Broncos. That record still stands today, but it is likely to be challenged many times over the next few years.
Prior to the 2021 season, 22 of the top 25 passing yard seasons of all time took place from 2011 onwards.

NFL Most Regular Season Passing Yards Betting Strategy:
The way that I approach this is by going in and crossing off about twenty names. I am only looking at the elite of the elite here. There was a season in which Jameis Winston was the top thrower in the league, but if you take that away it is almost always the elite quarterbacks of the league who win this award.
Once I have it down to those ten names, I look at the defenses. Why? Because I need to know who will need to throw. It doesn’t need to be an awful defense, just a middle of the road team. Think pretty much every Drew Brees team or Ben Roethlisberger in 2019. The Steelers defense that year was 16th of 32 in points allowed. That is the sweet spot.
Finally, I’m taking a look at coach. The reason that Drew Brees was able to lead the league in this category so many years is because he had a coach in Sean Payton that was willing to let him throw. Same with Ben Roethlisberger. They have the green light and their coach likes passing. Compare them to a player like Aaron Rodgers, an undoubtedly great quarterback, but his team has a lot more rushing attempts for whatever reason.
