Odell Beckham Jr.’s second touchdown of the game cements his place in the record books. He’s now the first player since 1967 with 30 receiving touchdowns in his first 35 games. He also has more receiving yards through his first 35 games than anyone since 1965 has had in their first 40 games.

Beckham’s first two catches of the game were both for touchdowns. That gives him five touchdowns for the season and close to 700 receiving yards, totals which could easily increase before Sunday’s game is over.

Earlier this season, Beckham became the only player in NFL history with 200 receptions in his first 30 games. He’s also the only receiver with 3,000 receiving yards or more in his first 30 games.

He’s on pace now to finish the season with 10 receiving touchdowns, which would be the third year in a row he’s posted double digits in that category.
