5. Larry Fitzgerald reaches 11K yards vs Indianapolis

There’s no doubt that a Larry Fitzgerald is one of the best receivers in pro football today. In 2012, he had to deal with a frustrating season as a consequence of the Cards QB carousel. In 2013, though, he experienced a career revival.

He broke the record for youngest player to reach 11,000 receiving yards against the Colts with a 16 yard pass on a 3rd and 14. This play proved meaningful because it helped the Cards get a field goal that gave them a commanding lead. Fitzgerald was 30 years and 57 days of age when he reached that mark.

It was one sign of several in 2013 that Larry Fitzgerald was as good as ever.
