Cardinals’ Trey McBride sets NFL record for catches by TE
The Arizona Cardinals tight end set the NFL’s single-season record for most catches by a tight end in Week 17. McBride totaled the record-breaking 117th catch with 4:34 remaining in the fourth quarter of the Cardinals’ loss to the Cincinnati Bengals on Dec. 28.
Take a look:
The record was previously held by Zach Ertz, who totaled 116 catches as a member of the Philadelphia Eagles in 2018.
It hasn’t been a memorable season for the Cardinals, who dropped their eighth straight game to fall to 3-13 after 17 weeks of action.
That doesn’t mean it hasn’t been a memorable season for McBride, however. The tight end’s 2025 campaign has been his best in the NFL to date.
McBride totaled another 10 catches in Week 17, adding 76 yards and a touchdown to go with it.
It brings his season total to 119 catches, 1,174 yards and 11 touchdowns with just one week to go.
