Three major records in one game is what we’ve come to expect from the Raiders all-world tight end Brock Bowers.
First it was the rookie tight end receiving yards record, which he set late in the second quarter on his third catch of the game. Then it was the rookie receptions record, which he broke early in the third quarter. And then he moved on from rookie records to a franchise mark for any position with any experience level. To give him the hat trick of records for the game.
With his seventh catch of the day, Bowers hit 108 catches which sets a new Raiders franchise single-season mark for catches. He breaks the record set by Darren Waller (107) set in 2020.
Waller had broken the previous franchise mark set by Tim Brown (104) which had existed since 1997. Which means, Bowers had surpassed Brown on the same catch that broke the rookie tight end receiving yards mark.
Bowers had tied the franchise mark late in the third quarter on a 15-yard catch to set up a field goal and a 19-10 Raiders lead. He would set the new franchise mark early in the fourth quarter.
