Ten years ago on opening day, Anquan Boldin went over 200 yards in his first NFL game -- a shocker at Detroit. He did it again on Sunday against Green Bay.
That's rare. It's tough going over 200 yards. And it's particularly unusual to see guys do years apart.
Since the merger in 1970, only four other receivers have had 200-yard games over five years apart.
All three of the ones to do it 10 years apart, by the way, played for the 49ers -- Rice, Owens and now Boldin.
