The Arizona Cardinals surprised the league with a 24-10 road win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. It was their first road win of the season and first since Week 10 of last season.
In the win, tight end Trey McBride tied a single-season franchise record.
He tied the franchise’s single-season record for receptions by a tight end.
He had eight receptions for 89 yards and a touchdown, giving him a total of 56 receptions for 610 yards on the season.
The 56 catches match Zach Ertz’s 56 catches in 2021 and Jackie Smith’s 56 in 1967.
His 610 yards are the most by a tight end since Smith had 687 in 1970. He is only the third Cardinals tight end to have 600 receiving yards in a season.
The passing game went through McBride on Sunday. There were only 13 catches by the Cardinals as a team. He had eight of them.
With seven games to go, he will set a new single-season record with every catch he has.
The single-season record for receiving yards by a tight end is 1,205, set by Smith in 1967. He needs 595 yards in the final seven games to tie that record.
