Arrowheadlines: Patrick Mahomes most likely to break Peyton Manning’s single-season passing yards record

Predicting which NFL players could break eight major records in 2021: Patrick Mahomes, Stefon Diggs, Christian McCaffrey, more | ESPN

Passing yards

Current record: 5,477 (Peyton Manning, 2013)

While Manning holds this record by 1 lone yard over Drew Brees’ 2011 campaign, no other season from any other quarterback is within 200 yards of the top two.

We’ve seen three quarterbacks with three different styles top 5,000 yards over the last three seasons in Patrick Mahomes, Ben Roethlisberger and Jameis Winston, and there are several quarterbacks who could threaten Manning’s record with an extra game this season.
