Getting your player ready...
Tony Gonzalez got his record but not much else. The Kansas City star broke the NFL’s career mark for yards receiving by a tight end Sunday, but he finished with just three catches for 17 yards in a 34-0 loss to the Carolina Panthers. Gonzalez entered the game 3 yards shy of Shannon Sharpe’s 5-year-old record of 10,060 yards. He surpassed the mark on Kansas City’s second offensive series by catching a 6-yard pass from Damon Huard late in the first quarter. The 12th-year pro and nine-time Pro Bowler has at least one reception in 120 straight games. “It takes a little bit off the record because of the way we got it,” Gonzalez said. “Maybe tomorrow, the next day, I’ll feel a little better about it.” Kevin C.
