Bowers is just the fifth tight end in NFL history to record 110 receptions in a single season. That’s regardless of experience level. In his debut season with the Las Vegas Raiders, Bowers had one of the most productive years by a tight end the NFL has ever seen.

Bowers was unable to record his first catch until early in the third quarter, and the majority of his production came in garbage time on the Raiders' final offensive possession. Nevertheless, he managed to tally the fifth touchdown of his rookie season and reached at least 50 receiving yards for the fourth time in seven games since the Raiders' bye in Week 10.
