Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten reached 10,000 career receiving yards during Sunday's 20-17 win over the Houston Texans, becoming just the third player at his position to hit the milestone, per NFL.com's Gil Brandt.
Witten, who entered the game with 9,955 yards, had just two receptions for 13 yards at halftime before turning it on after the break.
His third reception of the afternoon, which came in the third quarter, went for a 34-yard gain to bring his career total to 10,002 receiving yards. The Cowboys took a 10-7 lead two plays later on a 43-yard scoring strike from quarterback Tony Romo to wide receiver Terrance Williams.
Witten's fourth and final catch of the afternoon went for 12 yards, converting a 2nd-and-11 on the final play of the third quarter to push Dallas into the red zone. Romo threw an interception two plays later, and while the Cowboys would take a 17-7 lead shortly thereafter, they still ended up needing overtime to defeat their in-state rivals.
