	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.

	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.

	Once you remember the "d" Houshmandzadeh is easy.

	Marvin Harrison's 143 catch year was 2002, not 2005

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

	alpha:	Oct 30th, 2009 at 00:44 GMT	1 point

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

	SowCrates:	Oct 30th, 2009 at 02:18 GMT	-3 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 30th, 2009 at 02:43 GMT	0 points
	@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.

	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.

	BlessYou2:	Oct 30th, 2009 at 05:32 GMT	-3 points
	whoshmazilli should also be accepted

	FliryVorru:	Oct 30th, 2009 at 06:21 GMT	-1 points
	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 08:46 GMT	0 points
	I'm with ya Fliry. Mathis' jersey was the first one I owned.

	spottedcow:	Oct 30th, 2009 at 10:35 GMT	-1 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 10:56 GMT	-2 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...)

	Terance Mathis kept me from a perfect score. Looks like he did that to a lot of other people too.
