The Arizona Cardinals had a disappointing 23-22 road loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday in Week 13. But tight end Trey McBride made history in the loss.
He caught 12 passes for 96 yards in the game. It was the second straight game for McBride with 12 receptions, who caught 12 for 133 yards in Seattle in Week 12.
In doing so, McBride became the first tight end in NFL history to have consecutive 12-catch games.
He has 73 receptions for 781 yards through 12 games this season. His current pace has him on track for 103 catches for 1,106 yards. He set the franchise single-season record for receptions by a tight end last season with 81. He will likely break that. That projected yardage would still be shy of the franchise single-season record for receiving yards by a tight end. That is held by Hall of Famer Jackie Smith, who had 1,205 receiving yards in 1967.
