It took a lot longer than probably expected, but wide receiver Greg Jennings made his first catch with 10:55 left in the game.
The four-yard gain was also his 500th career reception. He becomes the 121st player in NFL history, and one of 14 active players, to accomplish the milestone.
Jennings appeared to have reached the landmark late in the first half, but he was called for offensive pass interference on the catch. Jennings was targeted four times previously before the catch.
Patriots cornerback Darrelle Revis has shadowed Jennings for most of the game, making him an non-factor in the blowout.
