Super Bowl LV could see an offensive explosion that might have receiving yard marks fall

It’s been a few years since an NFL receiver broke into the top five for most receiving yards in a single Super Bowl game. The top 5 hasn’t been scratched since Danny Amendola had a big game in the New England Patriots’ shootout with the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LII.

In this year’s matchup, the Kansas City Chiefs have already shown they can torch the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ defense with quarterback Patrick Mahomes and wide receiver Tyreek Hill. Mahomes put up 462 passing yards and Hill had 269 receiving yards in Week 12’s victory.

Should there be déjà vu, Hill would break Jerry Rice’s mark single Super Bowl mark.

Tom Brady didn’t have a bad game either in Week 12. He threw for 345 yards and had three touchdowns along with two interceptions. Rob Gronkowski had 106 receiving yards in that game.

Here’s who these receivers are chasing come Feb. 7.
