Jakobi Meyers sets dubious NFL record in Patriots' win over Panthers

Jakobi Meyers set an NFL record that will live in infamy during his Week 9 game against the Panthers. He now has the most receiving yards in NFL history for a player that has failed to record a receiving touchdown.

Meyers made just one catch in the Patriots' 24-6 win over the Panthers and racked up eight yards on the play. It was still good enough to set the all-time record of 1,522 receiving yards without a receiving touchdown.

Gerald Riggs — a running back who played in 129 NFL games over 10 NFL seasons for the Falcons and Washington — previously held the record with 1,516 career receiving yards.
