Largent, back with Seattle after crossing the picket line earlier in the week, caught 15 passes for 261 yards and three touchdowns in a little more than a half today as the Seahawks beat the Detroit Lions, 37-14, in the last game for most of the replacement players.
Largent, who extended his National Football League record to 143 consecutive games with at least one reception, almost certainly would have broken the record for most catches in a game had he not come out with 9 minutes 26 seconds remaining in the third quarter. The record of 18 receptions was set by Tom Fears of the Los Angeles Rams in 1950.
''I felt by halftime we had already played a full game,'' Largent said.
He finished with one more reception than the entire Detroit squad.
