What happened: Brock Bowers reached historic production levels through the first seven games of the 2026 season. Bowers has caught 48 passes for 658 receiving yards and six touchdowns. He is the first tight end in NFL history to record at least 650 receiving yards and six receiving touchdowns in his first seven games of a campaign.
Why it matters: The high-volume production solidifies Bowers as the focal point of the passing attack after he returned to the lineup at tight end in late September. Selected 13th overall in the 2024 NFL Draft, Bowers earned midseason All-Pro recognition as one of the league's most productive pass-catchers.
By the numbers: 48 receptions, 658 receiving yards, and 6 touchdowns in 2026 through 7 games; first tight end in NFL history to record 650+ receiving yards and 6+ receiving touchdowns in his first 7 games of a season.
What to watch: Bowers looks to maintain his record-setting pace as he enters the second half of the 2026 regular season.
