He needs only 59 yards to top Ditka and set the NFL record.

The Saints will have defensive end Marcus Davenport (ankle) and right tackle Ryan Ramczyk (knee). Both players were questionable. They will not have left tackle Terron Armstead (knee) or running back Mark Ingram (knee).
The team’s other inacitves are defensive back PJ Williams (ankle), cornerback Bradley Roby (shoulder), receiver Kenny Stills and quarterback Ian Book.
