Reggie Wayne Has a Career Day

Reggie Wayne had a career day on Sunday in Jacksonville.

But for the 10th-year veteran wide receiver, it wasn’t enough.

“I would have much rather have had five catches for 90 yards with a ‘W’, than what I had today,” Wayne said in the locker room after the game. “That’s the ultimate goal, to win.”

Wayne set a franchise record with 15 catches and had a career-best 196 yards in a losing effort at Jacksonville Sunday afternoon, as the Jaguars took a 31-28 last-second victory on a 59-yard Josh Scobee field goal for their fifth win ever over the Colts.

Wayne’s previous marks were 12 catches and 184 yards.

“Obviously, he is a great player for one thing,” Peyton Manning said. “They were giving some looks to throw it to him. (Jacksonville) was playing some off coverage and those were good looks to throw the ball to him.”

Manning and Wayne also moved up in the record books, as the duo surpassed the former Buffalo pair of Jim Kelly and Andre Reed (9,538) for second all-time in passing yardage between a quarterback and receiver combination with 9,703.

The Manning-Wayne duo already ranks second in NFL history in completions with 701 and tied for fifth in touchdown connections with 63. Manning and former Colts receiver Marvin Harrison lead each category. Wayne collected his 700th career reception late in the second quarter, becoming the 31st player in the NFL to reach that mark. Wayne now has 709 career receptions for 9,849 yards and 65 touchdowns.

Wayne recorded his 12th career 10+-reception game and 32nd career 100+-yard game.
