Most Receiving Yards in a Single Game by a Los Angeles Rams Player
The Rams have a long legacy of explosive receivers, but no one touched what Flipper Anderson did in 1989 — a jaw-dropping 336-yard performance that still stands today. Isaac Bruce appears three times, showing his consistency, while Cooper Kupp brings the modern fire. From legends of the ’40s to Super Bowl stars, this list covers every generation of Rams greatness.
TOP 10 LIST
10. Isaac Bruce – 210 Yards (1995)
One of Bruce’s earliest elite games, this performance in ’95 laid the groundwork for his Hall of Fame career.
9. Ron Jessie – 220 Yards (1976)
Jessie burned secondaries in a more physical era. His 220-yard game in ‘76 remains one of the best of that decade.
8. Cooper Kupp – 220 Yards (2019)
Kupp’s 2019 breakout proved he wasn’t just a slot guy. This stat line helped set the stage for his future Super Bowl MVP run.
7. Eddie Kennison – 226 Yards (1996)
A surprise name on the list, Kennison had a rare explosion that turned heads and stretched the field all night long.
6. Isaac Bruce – 229 Yards (1996)
Just another chapter in Bruce’s dominant stretch. Defenders had no answer for his footwork and deep routes that year.
5. Henry Ellard – 230 Yards (1989)
Ellard was a technician, and this 230-yard masterpiece in ’89 showed off every tool in his route-running bag.
4. Isaac Bruce – 233 Yards (1997)
Bruce was unstoppable in this game. His ability to turn routine catches into chunk plays defined his career.
3. Harold Jackson – 238 Yards (1973)
One of the smoothest WRs of the ’70s, Jackson’s 238-yard performance reminded everyone that speed kills.
2. Jim Benton – 303 Yards (1945)
Yes, you read that right — 303 yards in 1945! Benton’s record stood for decades and was unheard of in his era.
1. Flipper Anderson – 336 Yards (1989)
Still the king. Anderson’s 336-yard explosion wasn’t just a Rams record — it’s the all-time NFL single-game record. Unmatched. Untouched.
