With several close friends visiting and tens of thousands of fans watching, Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald made history once again Sunday.

A 13-yard catch late in the fourth quarter secured Fitzgerald's spot at second all-time in NFL's receptions.

He passed tight end Tony Gonzalez (1,325 catches) to get there. A 16-year veteran, Fitzgerald now only trails Hall of Famer Jerry Rice, who happened to be at the game at State Farm Stadium. He posted on Instagram wishing Fitzgerald good luck ahead of the game.
