#10: Harlon Hill catches 4 TDs passes vs. 49ers (1954)
The greatest Chicago Bears single-game performances starts old school. For a couple years there was no wide receiver in football better than Harlon Hill. He was a small town boy with a world of athletic ability that showcased it as a rookie in 1954. Defenses hadn’t seen somebody like him before. He averaged a whopping 25 yards per catch that season. Their inability to stop was never clearer than on Halloween when he torched the San Francisco 49ers for 214 yards and four touchdowns. At the time he was just the sixth man in NFL history to accomplish that feat. Nobody would duplicate again for another nine years when a young tight end name Mike Ditka pulled it off.
