Saints’ Michael Thomas sets more NFL history

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas keeps making his mark on the NFL. With his first reception against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, Thomas became the lone player to have the most receptions in their first 40 career games after catching a Drew Brees pass in the first quarter on the second play of the game. The record was previously held by Odell Beckham Jr. of the Giants with 266 receptions.

Thomas entered Week 10 as the fourth-leading receiving leader in the league with 880 yards, behind Adam Thielen, Julio Jones, and DeAndre Hopkins.
