Greatest single game performances of all time?

Everything leading up to this SF-Philly game, with Deebo Samuel being at the center of it all, he put up this stat line

 

on a per touch basis this has to rank up there on a list of legendary regular season games for a player.  How high, and what are some other ones you'd rank?

Gale Sayers in '65 against SF.  9 carries, 138 yards 4tds - 2 rec, 89 yards 1 td - 5 Punt returns, 134 yards 1 td.  11 touches from scrimmage for 227 and 5 tds;  361 total yards for 6 tds.   That's almost 13 yards a carry, 45 yards per reception and 27 yards per return.  The goal line stopped him almost as many times as the Niners did.

Brett Favre, the game after his father died.  22 of 30.  399 yards.  4 TD's.  0 INT.

Dude was ridiculous that game.  WR's were catching everything and his TD to an aged Walls fell straight out of heaven into Walls' arms for a TD.

I know that there are a lot of career games out there, but to me, this one was very special.  It wasn't just Favre, it was the entire team picking it up for him.
