After a 17-game regular season and a drama-filled playoff bracket, the NFL is down to two teams ready to battle in Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans.
This year, the Kansas City Chiefs are looking to make history as the first team in NFL history to win three consecutive Super Bowl titles. But to do so, they'll need to defeat the Philadelphia Eagles, who emerged as the NFC champions after routing the Washington Commanders in the conference championship game.
So, before the big game kicks off, what records might the Chiefs and Eagles offensive players be chasing? Here is a complete list of the all-time single-game leaders in Super Bowl history:

Five different quarterbacks have thrown for at least 350 yards in Super Bowl history—and Tom Brady and Kurt Warner have done it three times apiece. Unsurprisingly, Brady tops this list, throwing for a record 505 yards in a 41–33 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LII. He beat his own record from the year prior when he threw for 466 yards in the Patriots' historic comeback win over the Atlanta Falcons in Super Bowl LI.
Four quarterbacks who threw for more than 350 yards ended up losing the Super Bowl, including Warner twice in Super Bowl XLIII and Super Bowl XXXVI.

Most Passing Touchdowns in Super Bowl History
The only two quarterbacks to throw five or more touchdown passes in a Super Bowl both donned the San Francisco's red and gold. Joe Montana holds the all-time record with six touchdown passes in Super Bowl XXIX, and his backup that season threw five touchdown passes in Super Bowl XXIV five years later.
Every quarterback who has thrown four or more touchdown passes in a Super Bowl has won the game and secured a championship.

Most Rushing Yards in Super Bowl History
Only one player has rushed for over 200 yards in a Super Bowl—Washington's Timmy Smith, who gained 204 yards on 22 carries in a blowout win over the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XXII. Smith, by the way, only had two other games with 100+ rushing yards in his career.

Most Receiving Yards in Super Bowl History
It's only fitting that Jerry Rice, arguably the greatest receiver of all time, holds the all-time Super Bowl record for most receiving yards. Rice caught 11 passes for 215 yards and a score in the first Super Bowl he played in back in 1989, helping the 49ers defeat the Cincinnati Bengals 20–16.
Six other receivers have racked up at least 150 receiving yards in a Super Bowl, most recently Danny Amendola, who was Tom Brady's top target in Super Bowl LI.

Most Receiving Touchdowns in Super Bowl History
Just like the receiving yards record, Jerry Rice stands alone in Super Bowl history. Rice is the only player to notch three receiving touchdowns in a single Super Bowl—and he did it twice in Super Bowl XXIV and Super Bowl XXIX.
Seventeen other players have tallied two touchdowns in a Super Bowl, most recently Tee Higgins and Cooper Kupp in the Los Angeles Rams' 23–20 victory over the Bengals in Super Bowl LVI (2022).
