Came across this 'factoid' and found it unbelievable... When Gary Danielson was in college at Purdue, he set a school rushing record with 213 yards in 16 attempts against U of Washington in 1972. My memories of Danielson in the NFL was of a guy who could injure himself dropping back to pass, but I g...

*I was a RB who was drafted by the NFL even though I only ran for 400 yards in college. *I played 4 years in the NFL with two different teams. *I ended up with almost three times as many receiving yards as rushing yards, even though I only caught 6 passes in college. *I scored two career TDs, both r...

I wouldn't say it was the toughest schedule in NFL history but I think in "Greatest Teams Ever" discussions, the 1985's Bears schedule is pretty remarkable in that they played and beat: New England (11-5) x 2 NY Jets (11-5) Dallas (10-6) NY Giants (10-6) Washington (10-6) San Francisco (1...

Correct!

First three were Canadeo, JH Johnson, and Rocky Bleier.

I have Lowe as being 29 at the start of the 1965 season, so I don't have him on my list. But perhaps that's a technicality. Bleier is on the list of "First Three", so there is one more remaining RB.

John Henry Johnson is one of the three, but Harris and Riggins are incorrect

Name the first three RBs to gain 1000+ yards in a season after turning 30 years old.

Is Chicago going to use the Single Wing this year? If any franchise in the NFL needs a QB, its Chicago.

Steve Freeman (1987)

I forgot that Steve Freeman was a VIking. Was he a replacement player?

Otto Graham made a lot of questionable decisions, but trading away Krause may have been his worst. Does anyone know the circumstances of why the Redskins sent him to Minnesota?

I'm watching old GOTW highlights, and I am seeing various punts by Bill Bradley for the first time. Some of his punts are incredible....the highest, weirdest-spinning punts I've ever seen. But looking at his career, he was very inconsistent from year to year and didn't even punt in some years. Does...
