Cardinals Fall to Texans as Trey McBride Sets New NFL Record
The Arizona Cardinals faced another setback in Week 15, succumbing to the Houston Texans with a score of 40-20. Despite the disappointing outcome, one player managed to shine brightly amid the gloom: Trey McBride.
Historic Achievement for McBride
In a remarkable display of skill and tenacity, McBride shattered the previous NFL record set by Travis Kelce. The tight end now holds the record for the most consecutive games with five or more receptions, extending the mark to 16 games. On this day, he delivered his best performance of the season, reeling in 12 catches for a staggering 134 yards and scoring two touchdowns.
Unexpected Reaction from McBride
However, when McBride addressed the media after the game, his demeanor was surprisingly subdued. Despite the monumental achievement, he did not seem to relish the moment. Reporters anticipated excitement or joy from the young star, but instead, they were met with a reflective and somewhat somber attitude.
This reaction raised eyebrows and left many questioning how a player could be unhappy after such a significant personal milestone. McBride’s focus appeared to rest on the team’s struggles rather than his individual success.
While the record may serve as a personal triumph, it did little to ease the sting of another defeat for the Cardinals. As McBride continues to break barriers, his mindset underscores a commitment to team success that resonates deeply within the locker room.
As the season progresses, it remains to be seen how this record will impact McBride and the Cardinals moving forward.
