The last individual Super Bowl record (the kind that would determine a fantasy outcome, if you will) to be broken or tied was Wes Welker’s 11-catch performance during Super Bowl XLII.
Kurt Warner’s 377-yard performance last year was good for only second best all-time. He couldn’t top his 414-yard game in Super Bowl XXXIV. The recently [...]
