100-Yard Rushers: Number of Times in a Season
By Matt Cordon (kh). Filed in Trivia and Stats |
Julius Jones gained more than 100 yards on the ground four times last season, which was the best in his young career. He’ll need quite a few more before he can compete in this category with the likes of Emmitt Smith and Tony Dorsett. Then again, only six rushers in team history have ever rushed for 100 yards in at least four games in a single season, so he at least fits in to some degree with the elite backs in team history.
Table: The list below includes those Dallas Cowboy running backs who have gained 100 yards in at least four games in a single season (regular season only).
