Texans wide receiver Andre Johnson became the first player in the NFL to reach 1,000 receiving yards for the season. It’s the third time in his career he has reached that milestone.

Johnson had 10 catches for 116 yards against the Browns on Sunday. It was the first time in four weeks that he topped 100 yards.

“It’s a great accomplishment,” Johnson said. “Everyone wants to go over 1,000 yards and get all the yards and all the catches, but I just want to win. If me getting 1,000 yards helps my team win, so be it. If me getting 500 yards helps us win, I’ll take the 500 yards.”
