Michael Thomas sets catch record

The record-setter has dominated the season, easily outdistancing his fellow receivers in catches and yards. Entering Sunday, Thomas enjoyed a 219-yard lead in receiving yards and a 29-catch lead in receptions for the season.

Thomas not only passed Harrison's single-season receptions record Sunday, but he also blasted past Randy Moss (5,396) for the most receiving yards through a player's first four seasons in NFL history. And he surpassed Antonio Brown's record (265) for most receptions in a two-season span.

Thomas' combination of pristine route running, ability to find open space, snap off routes, muscle defenders and ultra-sticky hands makes him a menace for defensive backs. Opponents know Drew Brees is targeting Thomas seemingly every play. None have corralled him this season.

With one game to spare, Thomas already set the receptions record. With the Saints still battling for playoff positioning, the dynamite receiver will add to that greatness in Week 17.

Earning that money.

The way he runs routes are a beautiful thing to watch. Its like clinic film.

I love that he did this in the season AFTER we paid him.

The guy is a technician at running routes, he makes every route look the same so you never know what hes going to do.

The route he ran when Taysom threw him the ball was beautiful, as was the one when he broke the record.

True. There has been a history of players getting paid and failing to live up to the money.

Seriously? Is he not in the top 100? That crap is bogus if he's not.
