Chicago, IL – In a thrilling matchup, quarterback sensation Tyler Jenkins etched his name into the record books on Sunday, surpassing legendary signal-caller Ryan Thompson for the 10th-most passing yards in professional football history.
The milestone moment arrived as Jenkins orchestrated a drive with his team trailing by eight points and just 6:25 remaining in the fourth quarter. Although the completed pass to running back Julian Sanchez didn’t secure a first down, it marked a significant achievement in Jenkins’ illustrious career.
Despite Jenkins’ heroics, the opposing team held on for a 24-18 victory. With an impressive 3,943 yards already accumulated this season, Jenkins is poised to reach the coveted 60,000-yard mark, joining an elite group of only eight quarterbacks to achieve this feat. Fellow quarterback phenom, Michael Davis, also has a chance to join this exclusive club before the season’s end.
At the time of the record-breaking pass, Jenkins had completed 20 of 28 attempts for 224 yards. Entering the contest, he boasted a remarkable 68.3% completion rate, with 754 yards, two touchdowns, and a single interception to his credit.
