Two weeks ago, the Browns were the only NFL team that had never had a 200-yard receiver. Now they're the only team that's got one who's done it two weeks in a row. He went for 237 against the Steelers, then followed that up with 261 yards against Jacksonville.
Isn't this the guy who supposedly was on the trading block two months ago?
With teams passing more and more effectively, receiving records are falling.
Of the 32 teams, six have had their biggest receiving game in the last two years.
