Strange Stat


Strange Stat

I am a lifelong Seattle Seahawk fan. They won a ring and that can never be taken away like they do in college. That being said , I looked up Phillip Rivers stats. He had 0 receptions for - 9 yrds. It happened because he got a lateral and lost yardage. It got me to thinking , who had the most yardage lifetime with 0 receptions ? I know someone else has to have a positive number . It's going to be hard to find but I really want to know .

Re: Strange Stat

That is because it counts as rushing yards as a lateral. Not receiving yards. Funny how it separates the 9 yards

Re: Re: Strange Stat

Pro football ref counts it as receiving yards if it was from a pass but its counted as rushing yards if it was a run . The all time leader is qb Frank Ryan with 31 yrds and 0 rec. Now I wonder who has the most rushing yards with 0 att all time .

Re: Strange Stat

Hmm. Sorry. Original said lateral. That's a run not a pass.

Re: Re: Strange Stat

There was an example of this oddity today in the Ravens game . The Ravens intercepted a pass and the player lateraled it to his teammate who went 80 something yards for a td. He gets credited with the int yardage and the td but not the int , that goes to his teammate.

Re: Strange Stat

that seems reasonable. He didn't pick it A QB laterals backwards it is a run. Throwing a swing pass or screen that is behind the line of scrimmage but forward to the receiver is a pass.
