Question

Antonio Brown caught 15 touchdowns, but teammate JuJu Smith-Schuster finished the season with more catches and more yards. Who is the only other player in league history who has caught 15-plus touchdowns, with somebody else on his own team catching more passes for more yards? The player is still active.

Answer

Rob Gronkowski. In 2011, he caught 17 touchdowns, but Wes Welker caught 122 passes for 1,569 yards that year. In 2004 Marvin Harrison caught 15 touchdowns for the Colts; Reggie Wayne finished with slightly more yards that year but caught fewer passes.

Is Ben R the only Qb to throw for 5,000 yards and his team not make the play offs or did some of the Saints seasons with Brees doing not make the play offs as well

Brees threw for 5000+ yards five times and in three of those seasons (2008, 2012, 2016) the Saints didn't make the playoffs.

In the AFL days Bill Groman of the Houston Oilers had 17 TD receptions in 1961 but teammate Charley Hennigan had more receptions and yards

Great find, Dennis. Squeezing in one last correction before 2018 runs out. Happy New Year to you.
