Leader Data]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>Just a few more facts and figures about Browns history, focusing some on statistical leaders:</p>

<p>1. Colt McCoy's 40 completions on 10/2/11 vs. Titans is the #8 all time most passes completed in a game in NFL History.</p>

<p>2. When on 12/10/09 the Browns sacked Ben Roethlisberger for 60 yards, it is the third most sack yardage lost by a team in NFL history.  Only Matt Ryan of the Falcons and Gregg McElroy of the Jets ever lost more yards by sack in a game.</p>
<p>In that same game, the 8 sacks by the Browns were the 6th most number of sacks by a team in NFL history (tied)</p>

<p>3. On 10/2/1960 Milt Plum had a  22.0 yards per attempt passing average in a game.  This is #1 all time in NFL history in that statistic.</p>

<p>4. Milt Plum's passer rating of 110.4 in that 1960 season is 9th best all time (surpassed by guys like Montana/Young, P. Manning, Brady, Rodgers)</p>

<p>5. Otto Graham and Jeff Garcia each had 99 yard TD passes for the Browns. Both tied for the longest in history.</p>

<p>6. Otto Graham holds 3 of the top 10 seasons of all time in yards per pass attempt per season. (He has #2,3,6.</p>

<p>7. Frank Ryan's 9.8% TD percentage in the 1963 season is the 8th all time in NFL history in that statistic  (#1 is Sid Luckman in 1943...13.9%)</p>

<p>8. Bernie Kosar in 1986 and Brian Sipe in 1979 each had 7 game winning drives. These are tied for 2nd most in NFL history.  (most is a tie between Eli Manning in 2011 and Jake Delhomme in 2003 with <img src="https://brownsboard.com/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f60e.png?v=914d980dd38" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-android emoji--sunglasses" title="8)" alt="😎" /></p>

<p>9.  In 1978 the NFL went from playing 14 games to 16 games.  Prior to that year, a running back only gained 1500 or more yards 6 times:</p>
<p>1958 Jim Brown</p>
<p>1963 Jim Brown</p>
<p>1965 Jim Brown</p>
<p>1973 OJ Simpson</p>
<p>1975 OJ Simpson</p>
<p>1976 OJ Simpson</p>

<p>that's it.  Many many rushers have gone for more than 1500 since in the 16 game season (but I don't know how many got it in 14 games)</p>

<p>10. The 5 highest career yards per rush attempt in history are held by the following:</p>
<p>Marion Motley</p>
<p>Bobby Mitchell</p>
<p>Jim Brown</p>
<p>Bo Jackson</p>
<p>Spec Sanders (1940s NY Yanks)</p>

<p>11. If Trent Richardson could gain 1500 yards this season he would catapult into 10th place all time in Browns career rushing yards behind only:  Jim Brown, Leroy Kelly, Mike Pruitt, Greg Pruitt, Mack, Motley, Byner, Ernie Green, and Jamal Lewis.</p>

<p>12. If Brandon Weeden could throw for 4000 yards he would catapult to #9 in Browns all time career passing yards behind Sipe, Otto, Bernie, Ryan, Couch, Nelsen, Plum, Phipps.  If he could get 4315 yards he would pass Phipps.</p>]]></description><link>https://brownsboard.com/topic/26643/misc.-leader-data</link><generator>RSS for Node</generator><lastBuildDate>Thu, 01 Oct 2026 01:51:01 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link href="https://brownsboard.com/topic/26643.rss" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/><pubDate>Tue, 03 Sep 2013 15:55:52 GMT</pubDate><ttl>60</ttl><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to Misc.
