554 yards
One of the greatest opening day performances came in 1951 when Hall of Fame quarterback Norm Van Brocklin of the Los Angeles Rams threw for a record 554 yards. The mark still stands as the greatest single passing effort in National Football League history.
Given the evolution of the passing game in the last 25 years, the fact that this record still stands after 7 decades is amazing.
