Tyler Higbee has officially had the best season ever by a Rams tight end. Already holding the single-season franchise record for receptions by a tight end with 61, he just set the bar again in receiving yards.
Higbee caught a 14-yard pass in the second quarter of Sunday’s game to give him 682 on the year. That’s the most receiving yards ever by a Rams tight end in a single season, which is something no one saw coming at the beginning of the year.
The previous record was held by Jared Cook, who had 671 yards in 2013.
682 yards.

Higbee has four straight games with at least 100 yards receiving, and he’ll try to make it five on Sunday against the Cardinals. He’s the first tight end in the Super Bowl era with seven catches and 100 yards in four consecutive games.
