Art Monk's Record Breaking Catch

I will always remember The Catch. I watched the Redskins play the Broncos on TV in a Monday Night game on October 12, 1992. The fans at RFK erupted as the referees stopped the game and the Redskins players hoisted Art Monk upon their shoulders. It is definitely the moment of Art Monks career that I will always remember...him breaking Steve Largent's record to have the most receptions in NFL history. Art Monk's record was shattered by a future hall of famer a few years later....some guy named Jerry Rice.

The catch is caught by sequential still photos by John McDonnell courtesy of the Washington Post. Check it out:
