McBride’s record-breaking catch:
McBride is at 98 receptions and counting, with plenty of games left to make more NFL history. Two more catches makes him the first tight end in NFL history with back-to-back consecutive 100+ catch seasons. If the 26-year-old records 19 more catches, he’ll record the most catches by a tight end in a single season.

At 3-10, with very little to play for, McBride’s superstardom is the saving grace from Cardinals fans and the franchise from completely losing their cool. McBride is having an All-Time season that will likely end with him earning his first All-Pro selection and being the first Arizona player to be named since 2020 Budda Baker.
