Joe Perry got to his 20th 100-yard game in Jim Brown's rookie season.

[Bryan]

Joe Perry got to his 20th 100-yard game in Jim Brown's rookie season.

If you are including Perry's AAFC years, his 20th 100-yard game occurred on 11/30/58.

If you only count Perry's NFL years, his 20th 100-yard game occurred on 9/17/61.

Brown's 20th 100-yard game occurred on 9/25/60. But I understand your point, so...

Deleted because it was a dumb post.

Well, my first guess after Brown and Perry was that Steve Van Buren might have done it - so close with 18. Of course, he had a few 10-game regular seasons.

My next guess - Gale Sayers. 20 exactly.

[GameBeforeTheMoney]

And then my next thought was Elroy Hirsch - that's it. 24 games.

EDIT: Okay, now I see I clicked the receiving yards column. PFR has those listed first on his profile. But I still got Sayers right.
