Calling Rain Man v. Career Day
How many times in the last decade have we given up a career day to an opposing offensive or special teams player? Is there a place to look that up, or do you just have these sorts of things on file?

I'm not Rain Man, but I can tell you that he typically uses http://www.pro-football-reference.com. Unfortunately, I don't know any real simple way to pull that particular type of stat out of there.

Here's a teaser of what I could glean direct from the (outdated as of 2008) PFR database. Here are the best rushing performances against the Chiefs since 1996.

DaFace is correct in that it'd be hard to do. The best estimate I can come up with at the moment is 24 opposing starters x 16 games per year x 10 years, or about 3,840 career days given up.
There are a few Ryan Leaf starts, of course, but that's probably offset by playoff games. |
I can't do 2009, but here are all of the games where the opposing rusher had over 100 yards, and their total yards were the highest in their career (since 1996).

Those DV years playing in Denver made me wanna puke.
|
Also, Portis had 5 TDs in one game vs. the Chiefs.

Here's "record" passing days against the Chiefs (for people with more than 100 yards):

And finally, record receiving days against the Chiefs (more than 100 yards):

K. That was mildly interesting. Good night.

Drew Bennett. Wow, I don't remember that one at all.

I hate this thread. :(
|
Thanks DaFace. That's ... sad :(

This year alone....
Kevin Kolb Brent Celek Steve Smith Miles Austin James Harrison I'm sure I'm forgetting some... |
One more for good measure. This is "all purpose" yards, but doesn't include return yards. (Those aren't in the DB for some reason.) This is sorted by position to make it easier to compare.

wow.

I remember the drew bennett one, billy volek threw all over us. Brad Hoover a FB for the Panthers one year had a 100 yards in a game and his previous best was like 2 yards.
