It wasn’t Fitzgerald’s first receiving milestone this season.
He passed Hall of Famer Terrell Owens for No. 2 on the all-time receiving yards list on Nov. 11 against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Fitzgerald still needs about 6,000 yards to pass Rice (22,895 receiving yards) for the lead in that category.
