Buffalo Bills Single Game Receiving Record: Top 10 Receiving Performances in NFL History
The Buffalo Bills have produced some explosive receiving performances throughout their history — from deep threats like Lee Evans to Hall of Fame veterans like James Lofton. These aren’t just great stat lines — they’re legacy-defining moments.
Here’s a breakdown of the top 10 single-game receiving yard performances in Bills franchise history.
📈 Top 10 Receiving Games in Buffalo Bills History
1. Lee Evans – 265 yards (2006)
Two 83-yard touchdowns in the first quarter alone. Evans roasted the Houston Texans and hasn’t been touched since. The record still stands.
2. Jerry Butler – 255 yards (1979)
Before passing offenses exploded, Butler delivered a legendary showing against the Jets — one that stood as the team’s record for nearly three decades.
3. Eric Moulds – 240 yards (1999)
Moulds embarrassed the Dolphins with crisp routes and physical dominance. A peak Moulds game that Bills fans still remember.
4. Glenn Bass – 231 yards (1964)
In the old AFL days, Bass was a vertical threat before it was fashionable. His 231-yard effort helped power the ‘64 Bills.
5. James Lofton – 220 yards (1991)
At 35 years old, Lofton made it look easy — burning the Raiders and proving age is just a number when you’re a Hall of Famer.
6. Elbert Dubenion – 218 yards (1964)
That same ‘64 team also had Dubenion, another deep-ball threat. This was one of two 200+ yard games by Bills receivers that season.
7. Gabe Davis – 201 yards (2022)
Before his playoff breakout, Davis cooked the Steelers with two deep touchdowns. His raw speed and Allen’s arm made magic.
8. Terrell Owens – 197 yards (2009)
T.O. was past his prime, but this was one last explosion. He put on a show in a season that had little else to celebrate.
9. Eric Moulds – 196 yards (2001)
Back on the list — Moulds had another dominant day, this time versus the Colts, showing just how consistent he was.
10. Eric Moulds – 196 yards (1998)
Moulds again. Three appearances on this list, including two 196-yard games. One of the greatest to ever wear a Bills uniform.
⚡ Quick Takeaways
- Eric Moulds appears three times — more than any other player.
- This list spans from 1964 to 2022, showcasing Bills receiving greatness across six decades.
- Five players topped 220 yards — a benchmark even elite receivers rarely hit.
- Gabe Davis is the only active player on the list, and with Josh Allen throwing deep, don’t be surprised if another returns.
