The Tampa Bay Buccaneers may have lost, but O.J. Howard can look back at his breakout game against the Buffalo Bills with some satisfaction: six catches for 95 yards and two touchdowns on just six targets.
That’s a good game for any rookie receiver, but it’s absurdly good for a rookie tight end. According to Pro Football Reference’s database, only one rookie tight end has had a more productive game since 1999 (the first year they have position information for): Owen Daniels in 2006, who had 99 yards and two touchdowns on nine catches.
