Most Receiving Yards in a Single Game by a Kansas City Chiefs Player
From Tyreek Hill’s speed-demon performances to a forgotten 309-yard explosion — here are the wildest single-game WR showings in Chiefs history.
When it comes to big-play threats, the Kansas City Chiefs have delivered some jaw-dropping performances — and no one topped Stephone Paige’s 309-yard bombshell in 1985. But the modern era isn’t far behind. Tyreek Hill’s raw speed earned him multiple entries, and even a running back (yes, Jamaal Charles) cracks this list. This is more than a ranking — it’s a timeline of KC fireworks.
Top 10 List
10. Larry Brunson – 193 Yards (1974)
A name from the past with a performance that still holds up. Brunson’s 193-yard showing was rare air in the ’70s.
9. Jamaal Charles – 195 Yards (2013)
Not your average running back stat line. Charles put up WR numbers in this all-purpose showcase.
8. Carlos Carson – 197 Yards (1987)
A staple of the ’80s Chiefs offense, Carson had one of his best days in this underrated gem.
7. Tyreek Hill – 197 Yards (2021)
Hill’s elite burst was on display again — a modern highlight in a career full of them.
6. Sammy Watkins – 198 Yards (2019)
Watkins lit up the Jags in Week 1 of 2019, reminding everyone why he was once a top draft pick.
5. Stephone Paige – 206 Yards (1990)
Even after his record in ’85, Paige came back with another 200-yard game — proving it wasn’t a fluke.
4. Curtis McClinton – 213 Yards (1965)
One of the most surprising names here, McClinton’s huge day came in the early AFL era.
3. Tyreek Hill – 215 Yards (2018)
This was Hill at his freakish best — blowing the top off defenses and burning everyone.
2. Tyreek Hill – 269 Yards (2020)
A video-game stat line. Hill torched the Bucs for 269 yards… in just the first half.
1. Stephone Paige – 309 Yards (1985)
An all-time NFL performance. Paige’s 309-yard game still holds the Chiefs’ crown — and is one of the most slept-on WR feats in league history.
