LANDOVER, Md. – There wasn’t anything especially amazing about Jason Witten’s 1,000th catch, which is exactly the way he wanted it.
The perennial Pro Bowler sat down in middle the Washington defense on 2nd-and-6, and Matt Cassel found him for seven yards. It was the type of play he’s come to be known for, as evidenced by the fact that he’s now just the 12th NFL player and the second tight end to log 1,000 career receptions.
“That was kind of my play – the little stick route,” Witten said.
