The 'Yearly NFL passing yards-per-game leaders' quiz

Created on November 25, 2025  |  Total tries: 117  |  Average Score: 47.6 out of 56  (85%)  |  Quiz FAQ   

The Cincinnati Bengals are 3-8 heading into their Thanksgiving matchup with the Baltimore Ravens, but there could be at least one reason for their fans to tune in – the return of Joe Burrow. 

Burrow has missed the last nine games for Cincinnati, and while it looked like Joe Flacco might be able to hold the fort in a chaotic AFC North by securing a divisional win over the Steelers in Week 7. But Cincinnati hasn’t won since and the Bengals have less than a one percent chance to make the playoffs according to Next Gen Stats. The “good,” news for the Bengals is that with a win, their odds would skyrocket to an entire percent. 

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Burrow led the NFL in passing yards-per-game with 289.3 in 2024. With that being said, can you name the quarterbacks to lead the NFL in passing yards-per-game for each NFL season in the Super Bowl Era?

Good luck!
