One could be excused for thinking that this was just another catch for rookie tight end sensation Brock Bowers - he did finish with 112 of them this year, to be exact - but with this seemingly routine 13-yard grab after his quarterback escaped from what appeared to be a certain sack, Bowers set the NFL rookie receiving yards record for a tight end, permanently etching his name into the history books as the most prolific rookie tight end of all-time. This seven-catch, 77-yard performance in Week 17 was part of an unforgettable debut campaign that saw him tally 1194 yards and 5 touchdowns on those aforementioned 112 grabs, and came in a 25-10 Raiders win over the Saints on Dec. 29, 2024.
