Davante Adams’ next touchdown will move him past Larry Fitzgerald
The Rams receiver has 121 career touchdown catches, tied for sixth all time. His two scores against Buffalo put the next milestone within reach.
Davante Adams needs one more touchdown catch to take sole possession of sixth place on the NFL’s career list. The Los Angeles Rams receiver and Larry Fitzgerald are tied at 121.
Adams caught two touchdown passes in Monday’s 37–34 overtime loss to Buffalo. His second put Los Angeles ahead with 7:14 remaining before another late exchange of scores, according to The Associated Press recap.
Adams has four receiving touchdowns this season, NBC Sports reported Thursday. Above him are Marvin Harrison at 128 and Cris Carter at 130, followed by Terrell Owens at 153, Randy Moss at 156 and Jerry Rice at 197.
The Buffalo game showed how the Rams use Adams near the goal line. One of his scores came on a four-yard pass from Matthew Stafford after Los Angeles sustained a 14-play drive, the Bills’ official recap noted.
The next scoring catch would give Adams 122. Until it happens, he shares the sixth-place mark with Fitzgerald.
