4. Larry Fitzgerald’s 100th touchdown

There have been a lot of great plays in receiver Larry Fitzgerald’s career.  We all know he is a virtual lock for the Pro Football Hall of Fame someday after he retires.

For now though, Fitz continues to play at a very high level.  Nothing more proves that than his catch in week one of the 2016 season that provided his 100th receiving touchdown of his career.

Think how impressive that is given the quarterbacks Fitz has had to play with over the years since his rookie season in 2004.  Sure he’s had Carson Palmer and Kurt Warner but he’s had plenty more to deal with during his career.

Fitz has five touchdowns so far this season, none bigger than the 100th but he also has 56 receptions on the season.  That is on pace to best the 109 he had in 2015.
