"You know what, it didn't even seem like that many balls. I didn't know until I got to the sideline," said Marshall, who heard the news from former Broncos receiver Rod Smith. "He was at the game, and when I came to the sideline, he said, 'Hey, you little boy, you broke my record.' I said, 'What?' He said, 'Catches,' and I said, 'What was the record?' He said, '14,' and I said, 'How many did I have?' And he said, '18.'

"I was so tired man, I was out of it. I was just trying to stay focused and stay in the game mentally."
