Brock Bowers keeps on making NFL history.
Bowers set the new NFL record for receiving yardage by a rookie tight end. The record was previously owned by Pro Football Hall of Fame member Mike Ditka. He set the record in 1961 while with the Chicago Bears.
The record was 1,076 receiving yards. Bowers broke the record in the second quarter against the Saints on Sunday. Ditka did in a 14-game season and he had 56 catches.
In Week 14, at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Bowers caught his third pass of the game in the fourth quarter to set the NFL rookie reception record of 87 catches.
