Bills receiver Khalil Shakir has caught a record-breaking 27 straight targets

On Monday night against the Jaguars, Bills receiver Khalil Shakir intercepted all six passes thrown his way, continuing a remarkable streak.

Shakir has now caught the last 27 passes thrown his way, which represents the most consecutive targets caught by a receiver since 1991, when tracking began. The Saints' Michael Thomas also caught 27 consecutive goals in 2018. So when Shakir catches the next ball thrown his way, he has the record all to himself.

Shakir leads the Bills in catches and yards and has become Josh Allen's No. 1 receiver.

“I could say that over and over again, [Shakir’s] “A damn football player, the focus is on football,” Allen said, via Ryan Miller of the Democrat & Chronicle. “He loves the game. He does things right. He's been so selfless all week. He may receive two passes during training. He just keeps finding ways to be there the right place at the right timeand he makes plays. That's just his MO, I fucking love him. I’m so proud of him and how he’s done in his career so far.”

For a quarterback, there's not much better than a receiver who can catch everything that's thrown at him.
