There’s a new single-season receptions king.
New Orleans Saints receiver Michael Thomas recorded his 144th catch of the season with 3:06 to play in the fourth quarter against the Tennessee Titans.
Thomas caught a short pass on second-and-9 from the Tennessee 14, stiff-armed cornerback Logan Ryan and dove for the left front pylon. Initially the play was called a touchdown but it was overturned on review.
Two plays later, Drew Brees found Thomas for the touchdown, his 12th catch of the afternoon.
Thomas broke the mark of 143 receptions set by Marvin Harrison with the Indianapolis Colts in 2002.
