VIDEO: Michael Thomas Breaks Single-Season Catch Record and Hauls in TD to Clinch Victory vs Titans
By Adam Weinrib
Michael Thomas has taken the 2019 season to continually prove he's the most reliable pass-catcher in the game, and now the record books will eternally echo that claim. 17 years after the gold standard was set, Thomas shattered Marvin Harrison's single-season catch record with this goal-line snag.

Initially ruled a TD, the score was unfortunately overturned, putting a strange damper on the celebration.
No matter! Thomas grabbed a touchdown that countered mere seconds later.

Catch 144 was a near-score, catch 145 got it done. You simply can't guard Mike.
