Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins finished the game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (36:30) with 509 passing yards.

There have been a total of 25 instances of gaining 500+ passing yards from 22 quarterbacks in league history. The record holder is former Pittsburgh Steelers player Ben Roethlisberger, who broke the 500-yard mark three times in his career (2009, 2014, 2017).
