Hall of Fame quarterback Warren Moon is second on the list with his 527-yard outing against the Kansas City Chiefs in 1990. Despite throwing for over 500 yards, Moon finished with only three touchdowns in a 27-10 win for the Houston Oilers.

At the time, Moon was only the sixth quarterback to throw for over 500 yards. Since then, 20 other quarterbacks have managed to achieve this feat.

The first quarterback to throw for over 500 yards also holds the record for most passing yards in a game.

Hall of Famer Norm Van Brocklin played 12 seasons in the NFL, nine of which he spent with the Los Angeles Rams. In 1951, he threw for 554 yards and five touchdowns against the New York Yanks (now the Indianapolis Colts) in a 54-14 win for his team.

Van Brocklin led the Rams to their first Super Bowl title at the end of that season, helping his team beat the Cleveland Browns 24-17 at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.
