NFL Tight Ends Break Record With 20 TDs on Sunday

The Raiders' victory over the Saints exemplified the position's rise, with four tight ends combining for six touchdowns. Players like Brock Bowers, Juwan Johnson, and Noah Fant led the scoring surge. noplasticplease.life

This surge aligns with a broader trend, as tight ends accounted for 28% of all passing touchdowns last year and are projected to reach 32% this season. The shift is driven by the '12 personnel' formation, which defenses struggle to stop, and a record nine tight ends being drafted in the first three rounds.
