Trivia Tuesday: NFL’s 500-yard passers since 1980

In the wide-open world of college football, quarterbacks throwing for 500 yards or more in a game is somewhat commonplace.

In fact, that happened seven times just this past season and has occurred 50 times over the last five years.

The feat is a lot more rare in the National Football League, where only 19 500-yard games have happened since the 1980 season.

You probably see where we’re going with this — that’s your Trivia Tuesday challenge this week: To name every NFL quarterback who has flung the pigskin for 500 or more yards in a single game since 1980.

We’ve given you the yardage total, the team each quarterback did it for and the year. All you need to provide is the name (last name is fine.)

You’ve got seven minutes on the clock…good luck!
