A.J. Brown has an NFL record of 6 straight games with at least 125 receiving yards.
-- The way Tyreek Hill and A.J. Brown are playing, the NFL’s single-season receiving record could be in serious jeopardy.With both receivers off to historic starts and the addition of the 17th game to the schedule, Calvin Johnson’s record of 1,964 yards receiving set in 2012 is in danger of being broken.Hill has 1,104 yards receiving for the Miami Dolphins, becoming the first player in 52 years to reach the 1,000-yard mark in the first eight games of the season.
The only other players to reach 1,000 yards receiving in the first eight games are Charley Hennigan , Elroy Hirsch and Don Hutson .Hill would be be on pace to break Johnson’s record even without the 17th game as he is averaging 126.8 yards per game. He needs to average 106 yards the rest of the way to break Johnson’s mark.Brown is slightly behind that pace with 939 yards for the Philadelphia Eagles, but he is closing fast.
