It's Jerry Rice and Larry Fitzgerald alone at the top of the all-time receiving yards list.

Fitzgerald surpassed Terrell Owens on Sunday for second on the NFL's receiving leaderboard. The Arizona Cardinals wideout needed just 33 yards to jump the NFL Hall of Famer, and he recorded 50 on Sunday to take him to 15,954 for his career.

Only Rice stands between Fitzgerald and the top of the mountain.
