Tony Gonzalez sets tight ends yardage record

Tony Gonzalez
WEEK 5: The Kansas City Chiefs star Tony Gonzalez broke the NFL's career mark for yards receiving by a tight end Sunday, but finished with just three catches for 17 yards in a 34-0 loss to the Carolina Panthers. "This is a game that a lot of us probably (would) just as soon forget," Tony Gonzalez said. Tony Gonzalez entered the game 3 yards shy of Shannon Sharpe's 5-year-old record of 10,060 yards. He surpassed the mark on Kansas City's second offensive series by catching a 6-yard pass from Damon Huard late in the first quarter. Tony Gonzalez also has the alltime TD record for a tight end. The 12th-year pro and nine-time Pro Bowler has at least one reception in 120 straight games and also holds record for most receptions by a tight end.
