New York Jets wide receiver Brandon Marshall became the first player in NFL history with six 100-catch seasons.
That breaks a tie with Andre Johnson and Wes Welker, who had five.
Marshall set the mark with an 18-yard catch late in the third quarter against the New England Patriots.
He’s the first Jets player with 100 receptions in a season, and set the franchise’s single-season mark earlier in the game when he got his 94th catch — breaking Al Toon’s record.
Marshall, in his first season with the Jets, entered the game tied with Toon, who caught 93 passes during the 1988 season. On third-and-3 from the New York 41, Marshall took a pass from Ryan Fitzpatrick and converted the first down midway through the opening quarter.
Marshall and Eric Decker came into the game with a combined 165 catches, 2,191 yards receiving and 21 TDs (the most combined in team history). They also ranked first among NFL receiver tandems in receptions, second in yards and tied for first in TDs.
Toon was a three-time Pro Bowl selection from 1985-92, but was forced to retire at 29 years old because of several concussions. He had 517 receptions for 6,605 yards and 31 touchdowns.
