300-Yard Passing Games in a Season: Romo Ties Mark in 2006

Posted by kickholder from Know Your Dallas Cowboys: The Blog

Though he only started barely over half of the 2006 season, Tony Romo tied a team record with three 300-yard games in one season. The impressive part of this is that the record is shared by the likes of Don Meredith, Roger Staubach, and Danny White. Even more impressive is that even though he had the most 300-yard games in team history for his career, Troy Aikman never had more than two 300-yard games in a season.

What is slightly less impressive is that Vinny Testaverde (2004) and Drew Bledsoe (2005) also share this record.

Here is the list of total number of 300-yard passing games in a single season (regular season only):

Year - Player, No.
1966 - Meredith, Don, 3
1979 - Staubach, Roger, 3
2004 - Testaverde, Vinny, 3
2005 - Bledsoe, Drew, 3
2006 - Romo, Tony, 3
1983 - White, Danny, 3
1963 - Meredith, Don, 2
1975 - Staubach, Roger, 2
1984 - Hogeboom, Gary, 2
1985 - White, Danny, 2
1986 - Pelleur, Steve, 2
1987 - White, Danny, 2
