Both Eric Moulds and Peerless Price are in position to break the Buffalo Bills' record for most receptions in a season.
The record is 94 catches, set by Moulds in the 2000 season.
Moulds has 91 catches for 1,212 yards, and Price has 89 for 1,195.
It would take a phenomenal day for either to break the yardage mark of 1,368, set by Moulds in 1998.
Moulds stands ninth in the NFL in yards and is tied for sixth in catches. Price is tied for ninth in catches and is 10th in yards.
The Bills' two receivers are poised to become just the 10th tandem to reach 1,200 yards in a season in NFL history. Only four tandems have reached 1,300 yards.
The league record for receiving yards by a tandem is 3,174, set by Detroit's Herman Moore and Brett Perriman in 1995. Moore had 1,686 and Perriman 1,488.
Travis Henry stands fourth in the NFL in rushing yards with 1,358 yards but has little chance to move up. Third is Kansas City's Priest Holmes with 1,615 yards.
Henry's total already is sixth in Bills history. He needs 130 yards to surpass Thurman Thomas' best single-season total of 1,487 yards, set in 1992.
O.J. Simpson holds the top three single-season marks - 2,003 in '73, 1,817 in '75 and 1,503 in '76. All of Simpson's totals were in 14-game seasons. ...MORE... (http://www.buffalonews.com/editorial/20021226/1007106.asp)
