Maryland Lottery My Lottery Rewards, we look back at Art Monk breaking the league's all-time receptions record this week in 1992.

On the eve of the Redskins’ Monday Night Football matchup with the Broncos at RFK Stadium in 1992, Monk knew he had the opportunity to break the NFL receptions record.
He wanted to get it out of the way, and so did the Redskins, who faced the Eagles the next week and wanted Monk’s attention, and the team’s attention, on their division rival.
