What do you think is hardest to do in a game?

I'm tired just from reading this post.

I say receiving 175 or more yards. That's tough because you're not the only option on a passing play; you have to be consistantly schooling the pass defense. You don't just get handed the ball out there.

Either the 200+ yrds rushing or the 175+ receiving...

i guess there's a statistical answer to the question. i'm usually big on stats but i'm not going to burn much time on this one--maybe it's the summer heat or maybe i'm not that interested in the question. anyway, i'll go with the Hail Mary since i think it occurs less freqently than the other possibilities, but i wouldn't put my money on it.

I'd say rush for over 200 yards. Although I am sure that receiving 175+ yards is pretty difficult too.

Hail Mary pass at the end of a game, or 200 yards rushing, both almost never happen. But for a rusher, they have good days and bad days. A hail mary is mostly luck.

None of the above. What about passing, running, and receiving TDs in the same game???

Patten became the first player in franchise history and only the sixth player in the NFL since 1960 to record a touchdown pass, touchdown reception and rush for a touchdown in one game (at Indianapolis, 10/21/01). He completed a 60-yard touchdown pass, caught two touchdown passes (91 and six yards) and rushed for a 29-yard score. Hall of Fame running back Walter Payton was the last player to accomplish the feat on Oct. 21, 1979 vs. Minnesota.
