passing yards

Quarterback's stat line

Passing yards is a football statistic measuring the total distance gained through completed forward passes.

Quarterbacks accumulate passing yards when their throws are caught and advanced; receivers earn receiving yards on the same plays.

A quarterback's passing yards reflect aerial production: He threw for 350 passing yards.

The stat excludes yards gained after laterals or backward passes.
