DENVER -- Oakland Raiders receiver Jerry Rice became the first player in NFL history to score 200 touchdowns and broke Walter Payton's record for all-purpose yards against the Denver Broncos on Monday night.
Rice reached 200 touchdowns on a 6-yard reception late in the second quarter. Rice was facing inside when Rich Gannon threw the pass, then turned back to the outside to catch the ball over Denver's Tyrone Poole.
Rice added a 34-yard touchdown reception over Deltha O'Neal in the fourth quarter, giving him 21,817 all-purpose yards -- 13 more than Payton's record. It was also Rice's 190th career touchdown reception, extending his own record, and fifth this season.
At 40 and in his 18th season, Rice holds every major receiving record in the NFL and is Oakland's leading receiver this season. |
