Amari Cooper’s record-setting day highlights a milestone week for NFL wide receivers
Associated PressInside the Numbers dives into NFL statistics, streaks and trends each week. Cooper caught 11 passes for a franchise-record 265 yards and two TDs in a 36-22 win over the Houston Texans on Sunday, becoming the fourth player ever with at least three games with 200 yards receiving and two TDs. Jefferson had six catches for 141 yards and a TD in Minnesota’s 30-24 loss to Detroit to give him 5,648 yards receiving — breaking Michael Thomas’ record of 5,512 through four seasons. Cleveland still has an outside chance to end that this season, but the Browns would need to win their final two games and hope Baltimore loses its final two games. Only three other players have gained at least 10,000 yards from scrimmage and thrown at least five TD passes, with Henry joining Hall of Famers Marcus Allen, Walter Payton and LaDainian Tomlinson.
