ARLINGTON, Texas -- With a 5-yard catch in the first quarter, Jason Witten (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/4527/jason-witten) surpassed Hall of Famer Ozzie Newsome for third place in NFL history for catches by a tight end.
Witten now has 662 catches. Newsome had the most ever by a tight end at the time of his retirement with 661.
“Jason is a complete tight end with the ability to block at the point of attack and make plays downfield with his catches,” said Newsome, who is Baltimore’s general manager, in a statement from the Ravens. “He has a way to get open that few tight ends possess. He’ll find the spots in zones, he can run away from man coverage and he can catch a ball in heavy traffic. Congratulations to him on reaching another catching milestone.”
