Ahead of the 2023 campaign, Hill predicted that he would become the first player to record 2,000 yards receiving in a single season, and he's well on his way to achieving that feat.

Following his latest performance, Hill is on pace to finish with roughly 2,154 yards over the 17-game season. The NFL single-season record is 1,964 yards, set by Calvin Johnson over 16 games in 2012.

The 29-year-old Hill is also more than halfway to setting a new career high in receiving touchdowns. Hill leads the NFL with eight receiving touchdowns, and his career high is 15.
