With his second reception Sunday, New Orleans Saints wideout Michael Thomas (482 receptions) surpassed Jarvis Landry (481 receptions) for the most catches by a player in his first five seasons in NFL history.

Sunday's Week 11 matchup against the division rival Atlanta Falcons marks just the fourth game Thomas has played in during the 2020 campaign. Thomas was sidelined with injuries from Week 2 through Week 9.
