Houston Texans

1) Death. Taxes. Five receptions for Trey McBride.

Trey McBride has been a fixture on the milestones watch in 2025, and in Week 15 against the Texans, he has a chance to finally reach the summit of the tight end mountain he’s been climbing all season.

Leading all NFL tight ends with 93 receptions, 937 receiving yards and eight receiving touchdowns, McBride has caught at least five passes in all 13 of his games played this season. Add in 12 catches in Week 17 and seven catches in Week 18 of last season, and you get 15 consecutive games with at least five receptions.

One more five-catch performance in Week 15 for McBride would break a tie with Travis Kelce – who did so in 15 games in 2018 – for the longest such streak by a tight end in NFL history.

With another two receptions on to of that, McBride would reach the century mark in 2025 – a season after posting 111 receptions in 2024. That would make him the first tight end to ever catch 100 passes in back-to-back seasons. Kelce – who had three such seasons – is the only tight end with multiple 100-reception seasons at any point in a career.
