Michael Thomas sets Saints' single-game receptions record

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas had a historic individual performance Sunday, but he was in no mood to gloat after a 48-40 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.

"You can't take anything positive away from a game with a loss," Thomas said. "We're a team. We win together, we lose together, so that would be selfish to worry about stats without winning games."

Thomas might not want to gloat about his performance, but it's still worth mentioning because his 16 receptions set a new single-game franchise record, breaking running back Tony Galbreath's mark of 14 from 1978.
