Most yards gained, total, game: 404, Glyn Milburn, December 10, 1995 for the Denver Broncos against the Seattle Seahawks in a game Denver lost, 31-27. Not surprisingly Milburn's total was boosted by over 200 yards off of Punt and Kick-off returns.
Now if I could only remember where he played his college ball - he must have been something to see in person! :-)

In 1938 Neville Chamberlain declared "Peace in our time", Superman first appeared in Action Comics, Seabiscuit beat War Admiral ....... and C.a.l last won the Rose Bowl.

well total offense appears to be somewhat different as this site thinks Warren Moon is #1 with 529 yards (of course they only include games after 1960 when they have good stats).

I knew this right away -- when I was setting up my classroom last month I pulled out my ESPN Trivia desk calendar, and I had left it on the page with that very question. Full disclosure: I didn't know the answer when I first saw the question last June.
Please clear the field! The game is not over!

Hmm, yes. Total offense by convention includes passes thrown. Total yards gained apparently counts only yardage as the ball carrier.

Quote:Why Canton for the Hall of Fame Site?
The Pro Football Hall of Fame is located in Canton, Ohio, for three primary reasons; (1) the American Professional Football Association, later renamed the National Football League, was founded in Canton on September 17, 1920. (2) the Canton Bulldogs were an early-day pro football power, even before the days of the NFL. They were also the first two-time champion of the NFL in 1922 and 1923. The great Jim Thorpe, the first big-name athlete to play pro football, played his first pro football with the Bulldogs, starting in 1915. (3) Canton citizens early in the 1960's launched a determined and well-organized campaign to earn the site designation for their city.

The thing I like about Milburn's story was how his parents forced him to go to OU and then he transferred to Stanford when he got his head right.Â
I moved to Dallas, where I perfected by healthy and justified hatred of the Sooners, a bit before Milburn played, so this was a small victory.
