	Great quiz but, wow, nothing before '93 is pretty surprising. I was aware it has become much more of a passing game in the 10 or 15 years since I started watching but didn't realize to what extent. Saw Bengals 2007, prayed it would be Johnson so I wouldn't have to spell TJ's name...and it hurts to see how close I came...stupid first d.

	Haven't heard the names Terance Mathis or Herman Moore in awhile

	Can't believe I missed Herman Moore. Many a thanksgiving I spent watching him play the Packers as a young'n. I knew TJ, but wasn't even going to attempt spelling his name.

	terpfan417:	Oct 29th, 2009 at 19:43 GMT	3 points
	Once you remember the "d" Houshmandzadeh is easy.

	Have we learned nothing? How do you spell Houshmandzadeh? C-H-A-M-P-I-O-N-S-H-I-P!

	alpha:	Oct 29th, 2009 at 20:44 GMT	2 points

	good quiz. for some reason i couldnt think of sterling the only person i could think of from the packers was freeman.

	SowCrates:	Oct 29th, 2009 at 22:18 GMT	0 points
	Actually wasn't that hard. I could see a lot of variations coming off this quiz, for instance: most receptions in a single season for each NFL team, most receptions in a single season by tight ends or running backs.

	i bet a lot of people didnt know both jimmy and rod smith

	Archer16:	Oct 29th, 2009 at 22:43 GMT	1 point
	@Victor2K: It's quite logical. Welker catches a ton of short passes, while Moss is the deep threat (Y/R is ~10 for Welker and ~15 for Moss), so in terms of passes caught Welker's in front but in receiving yardage it's usually Moss.

	Sterling Sharpe away from perfection. Always tantalizing to be so close to a rare 100%. I probably wouldn't have gotten Jimmy Smith if it weren't for Rod, so I didn't deserve it anyway.

	conradmcmasters:	Oct 29th, 2009 at 23:17 GMT	-2 points
	I feel like a damn idiot, I kept thinking Rod Smith was Rod Davis. Total dummy.

	That was awesome. Feels good to rip out a good 'ol hundred once in a while. --Why hasn't anyone heard of Herman Moore? Nice to see Terance Mathis, too. Totally rad. And keep required Houshmandzadeh spelling as-is. That IS his name, you know.

	I'd just like to give a shout out to Terance Mathis who is getting NO love. Not gonna lie, I missed him too.

	ericwbolin:	Oct 30th, 2009 at 04:46 GMT	0 points
	I'm with ya Fliry. Mathis' jersey was the first one I owned.

	spottedcow:	Oct 30th, 2009 at 06:35 GMT	0 points
	Welker missed 2 games this year and still leads the league in receptions so far. Im kinda surprised he isnt on here more than once.

	Giants2082:	Oct 30th, 2009 at 06:56 GMT	-4 points
	"Who's your mama" should be accepted for Houshmandzadeh lol, i mean, come on Big Ben has been accepted for Roethlisberger before (granted one's an official nickname...)

	Matt8204:	Oct 30th, 2009 at 12:33 GMT	0 points
	Terance Mathis kept me from a perfect score. Looks like he did that to a lot of other people too.
