Over the years, many NFL players have put up some truly impressive individual performances in a single game or season. These performances have helped their teams win games, break records, and etch their names in the history books. Here are a few of the most notable performances:

  • Tom Brady, Super Bowl LI (2017): In one of the greatest comebacks in NFL history, Brady led the New England Patriots to a victory over the Atlanta Falcons after trailing 28-3 in the third quarter. Brady finished the game with 466 yards passing and two touchdowns, earning him his fourth Super Bowl MVP award.
  • Adrian Peterson, 2012 season: Peterson came back from a torn ACL and MCL to rush for 2,097 yards, just nine yards shy of breaking Eric Dickerson's single-season rushing record. Peterson was named the NFL MVP that season.
  • Calvin Johnson, Week 8 of 2013 season: Johnson set a single-game NFL record with 329 receiving yards in a game against the Dallas Cowboys. He also caught a touchdown pass in the game.
  • Michael Vick, 2010 game against Washington Redskins: Vick accounted for six touchdowns (four passing, two rushing) and 413 total yards (333 passing, 80 rushing) in a 59-28 victory over the Redskins. His performance earned him NFC Offensive Player of the Week honors.
