Raiders star Darren Waller sets a team record
The Las Vegas Raiders have an absolute star in Darren Waller, who came into town, put on the Silver and Black, and has been a beast ever since. Waller had shed his dark past to become a bright light in Las Vegas and is on the footstep of history as the team enters their Week 17 game against Denver.
Waller is only six receptions shy of tying former Raiders star wide receiver Tim Brown for the single-season record, as he has hauled in 98 passes this season. Waller has already passed the single-season record for tight ends, passing Todd Christensen‘s marks of 95 in 1986, and 92 in 1983.
