Anquan Boldin continued his rise up the record books on Monday night against the Minnesota Vikings.
A 9-yard grab in the fourth quarter marked the San Francisco wide receiver's 944th career catch, moving into sole possession of 14th place on the NFL's all-time receptions list. Boldin passed Derrick Mason, who finished his career with 943 receptions. Boldin entered Week 1 with 940 career receptions.
Looking ahead, Boldin will now chase Hall-of-Famer Andre Reed at 951 receptions. Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten also has 951 career receptions, so he and Boldin will likely be trading places back-and-forth all season.
