On Monday night against the Jaguars, Bills receiver Khalil Shakir caught all six passes thrown to him, continuing a remarkable streak.
Shakir has now caught the last 27 passes thrown to him, which ties the most consecutive targets caught by any receiver since 1991, when targets began being tracked. Michael Thomas of the Saints also caught 27 consecutive targets in 2018, so if Shakir catches the next ball thrown his way, he’ll have the record all to himself.
