NFL quarterbacks have passed for 5,000 yards in a season fifteen times. Patrick Mahomes and Ben Roethlisberger both accomplished it in 2018. In 2011, Tom Brady, Drew Brees, and Matthew Stafford each threw for over 5,000 yards. Only Marino (362), Winston (380), and Mahomes (383, 2018 season) have done so with fewer than 400 pass completions. All quarterbacks have needed at least 600 passing attempts to achieve the yardage, with the exception of Marino (564) and Mahomes (580, 2018 season). Matthew Stafford is the only 5,000-yard passer with a 500-yard game in the same season. Drew Brees, Tom Brady, and Patrick Mahomes are the only NFL quarterbacks to have multiple 5,000 yards seasons Brees accomplished the feat a record five times, while Brady and Mahomes have accomplished it twice. Peyton Manning holds the record with 5,477 passing yards in 2013 this surpassed Drew Brees, who recorded a then-record 5,476 passing yards in 2011, by one yard. Marino's record of 5,084 yards set during the 1984 season remained intact for 24 years, and for over a decade after his 1999 retirement. Nine quarterbacks have accomplished the feat, although Dan Marino was the only one to even break 4,600 before 2000. Some consider it a soft benchmark, comparable to the 10-second 100-meter dash or the 4-minute mile. Passing for 5,000 yards in a single regular season is a rare achievement in the National Football League (NFL).
