Antonio Brown Passes Jerry Rice For Most Rec Yards In 6-Year Span

Normally I’m on top of these sorts of things, but evidently this is one I missed. According to Pittsburgh Steelers PR guy Dom Rinelli, wide receiver Antonio Brown set a new record last week for the most receiving yards over a six-year span in NFL history with his 154-yard performance, surpassing the great Jerry Rice for that distinction.

Between the 1990 and 1995 seasons, San Francisco 49ers legend Jerry Rice caught 596 passes for 8759 yards and 80 touchdowns. He averaged 99 receptions for 1460 yards and 13-plus touchdowns per season during that exceptional span.
