The Cincinnati Bengals have been one of the worst teams ever in covering the tight end in 2025, so it is only fitting that a tight end would break the single-season receptions record against the Bengals.
Trey McBride came into the game with 109 catches, seven shy of the record, far from an easy amount to get in one game for a tight end. However, against the Bengals, the record is not surprising, and he actually finished with 10 catches, including a touchdown catch in the fourth quarter.
Now with another game and already a three-reception lead over the record, McBride has a chance to set a dominant record at the position.
That may not be the only record the Bengals have broken against them this season, though, and the other one has been running even longer. Myles Garrett is a half sack short of tying the single-season record and has one game left to try to get it in a lost season for the Browns and Bengals.
Unlike the tight end receptions record, it remains to be seen whether Garrett will be able to set the sack record against the Bengals, a mark that has stood for almost 25 years. The Bengals offensive line has really stepped up this season. Based on how well they’ve played, it’s not impossible to see them keeping Garrett from breaking the NFL sacks record.
Congrats to McBride on a great season, and here’s to hoping Garrett doesn’t get his record at the expense of the Bengals.
