Saints WR Michael Thomas breaks Marvin Harrison's record for catches

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Marvin Harrison's NFL record of 143 catches in a season was so impressive that it stood for 17 years -- and no one came within even six catches of it.

Until Sunday, when New Orleans Saints receiver Michael Thomas broke Harrison's mark with one game to spare.

Thomas caught his 143rd pass of the season with his 11th reception of the game Sunday in the fourth quarter against the Tennessee Titans.

It is the ninth time this season that "Can't Guard Mike" has caught double-digit passes in a game.
