Antonio Brown Records Rare Back-to-Back 110-Reception Seasons
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown caught 10 passes in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Atlanta Falcons to become the fourth player in NFL history with back-to-back seasons of 110 or more receptions, per ESPN Stats & Info.
After catching exactly 110 balls for 1,499 yards in 2013, Brown entered Sunday's contest with 105 catches for the year, needing just five more to hit the mark in Week 15.
Having caught at least five passes in every game since the start of last season, Brown was all but assured of reaching 110 receptions in a matchup against the woeful Atlanta defense.

Colts Release Kenny Moore

Projecting Every NFL Team's Starting Lineup 🔮

Rookie WRs Who Will Outplay Their Draft Value 📈
Sure enough, he finished with 10 catches for 123 yards, giving him 115 receptions for 1,498 yards through 14 games.
The only other players to record 110 receptions in consecutive seasons are Jerry Rice (1994-95), Cris Carter (1994-95) and Wes Welker (2007-09, 2011-12).
With two games remaining in the season, Brown finds himself just eight receptions shy of the second-best single-season total in NFL history, recorded by Herman Moore (123 catches) in 1995 and then matched by Welker in 2009.
While an excellent bet to surpass Moore and Welker, Brown would need a whopping 29 catches over the final two weeks to best Marvin Harrison's all-time single-season record of 143 catches, set in 2002 for the Indianapolis Colts.
