Nola, also known as the record-breaking destination. Six days after Drew Brees broke the NFL's all-time record for touchdown passes, New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas broke the single-season record for receptions with 145.

Brees reacted to Thomas' record-breaking day on Instagram. He said: “So proud of my guy Michael Thomas for breaking the single-season receptions record today! Truly an unbelievable accomplishment. No one deserves it more!”

Thomas passed Marvin Harrison (2002) to break the record. He did so in just his fourth season in the NFL. Since the Saints made him a second round pick out of Ohio State in 2016, he has acted as one of the league's most consistent forces as a receiver. His statistics just prove that.

Thomas has dominated in 2019. There's no question about that. He broke a 17-year record that many once considered untouchable in just 15 games. Now he has the opportunity to not only break it but also demolish it.

The Saints, with Thomas on-board, have one of the NFL's most feared offensive weapons. It's not as if they lack them without him, however, as he happens to play with a Hall of Fame-bound talent in Brees, one of the NFL's best running backs in Alvin Kamara and a fantastic offensive mind in coach Sean Payton. All of that culminates in a true Super Bowl contender in the Bayou.
