The NFL single-season passing yards record of 5,477, set by Peyton Manning in 2013, has been approached only a handful of times since, with the next-closest marks coming from Tom Brady (5,316 in 2021) and Patrick Mahomes (5,250 in 2022). Recent league leaders have fallen well short, including Matthew Stafford’s 4,707 yards in 2025 and Joe Burrow’s 4,918 in 2024, reflecting lower per-game averages and fewer extreme-volume seasons. For 2026, projected leaders such as Burrow, Jared Goff, and Dak Prescott are expected in the 4,600–4,800 range amid balanced offenses, improved defenses in key spots, and typical injury or usage variability. The 17-game schedule provides some buffer, yet the combination of efficiency demands, situational factors, and historical rarity supports the strong market lean toward the record remaining unbroken.
