Watch: Trey McBride scores first receiving touchdown after breaking unwanted record

The two-yard touchdown catch helped Arizona narrow the 10-point deficit set by the division rival Los Angeles Rams to just four (the subsequent extra point attempt was blocked).

It was a promise kept by quarterback Kyler Murray, who posted a TikTok Dec. 18 encouraging fans that he would get McBride the ball for a score "soon."

Believe it or not, Saturday's touchdown was actually McBride's third time in the end zone this year. He rushed for one touchdown and recovered a fumble for another earlier in the season.

McBride has had a stellar 2024 campaign otherwise. Saturday he became just the Cardinals' second-ever tight end to record 1,000 yards and the first since 1967 (Jackie Smith).

His 98 receptions (and counting) as of halftime Saturday are also the most by a tight end in a single season in franchise history. He broke his own record of 81 catches set in 2023.

Despite all that, McBride will have to cope with the fact that his name will top the undesirable record in perpetuity until the next unlucky athlete comes along.
