And you look up one day after Christmas to see with one game left in the regular season the leading receiver in the NFC is . . . . Jason Witten?

And as the smoke cleared this week for Sunday's highly inconsequential game against the Redskins, there is Witten sitting there with 94 catches.
Ninety-four!

Jason Witten, a tight end, mind you.
Pause just a moment to let that sink in. First of all, that's 13 more than Owens had this season. That is two more than Randy Moss. That is six more than Tory Holt. That is 12 more than Donald Driver.

Did you realize that only one other player in Cowboys history, and that's a mighty royal wide receiver history what with the likes of Michael Irvin, Bob Hayes, Drew Pearson, Tony Hill, Butch Johnson and Lance Rentzel having played here, has caught more than Witten's 94 in a single season? That's right, only Irvin's 111 in 1995 exceeds his total with one game to play.

He has been a clutch receiver too...TO might score Tds, but Witten keeps drives going.

Wow, I knew Whitten was having a good season, but I had no idea how good. So is he the best tight end in the NFC, you think?

He does a great job on blocking too.

This year he may be the best in the NFL.

Well to hear Simon tell it, he is no better than the Patriots TE's he gave the match up a push this year...
