Shaun Alexander, with 28, i believe, just this season. He beat Priest Holmes record of 27 and Priest Holmes beat Emmitt Smith's record of 26.

True.  He is only a few TDs away from the most rushing tds in a single season and he still has 6 more games in the season.  He has been averaging atleast 2 Tds per game and he doesnt always run them in for tds.  He has also caught and even passed for some tds.

Terrell Davis of the Denver Broncos has a career total of 7,607 rushing yards. That currently ranks him #41st on the all-time rushing yardage list.

Easy the 1985 Chicago Bears.  They still hold the records for shutting out both teams they played in the Divisional and Conference games - no one has done so since or before.  And they are the only team to hold their opponent to negative TOTAL offensive yardage in the first half of the Super Bowl.  Doubt that record will ever be broken.\n\nAlso - look at the quality of teams the Dolphins played in 72.  Not to mention they played less games that year.

Addai has a good matchup in week 13 against the worst ranked Defense in the NFL, the Tennessee Titans, who give up an average of 367.8 yards per game. Addai will have great fantasy numbers for weeks to come.

On November 19th, 2000 the Tenessee Titans committed seven turnovers (four by Steve McNair) but still managed to defeat the Cleveland Browns thanks to a solid defense and 134 yards rushing by Eddie George. \n\nThis matched the record for most turnovers by a winning team set on October 18, 1987, when the Buffalo Bills beat the New York Giants. The Bill's 6-3 victory in Buffalo came during the player's strike and only 15,737 fans attended. Hall of Fame linebacker Lawrence Taylor crossed the picket lines to play that day, and obviously outshined the competition making plays left and right. But it was such a sloppy game that Bills coach Marv Levy called in the "worst" in the history of the NFL.

Matt Leinart has the better matchup against a 24th ranked total defense of St. Louis, giving up an average of 344.1 yards a game. Carr has a bad matchup against the Oakland Raiders pass Defense, ranked first in the NFL, giving up only 156.5 yards a game.

Shaun Alexander had 28 Rushing TD's this past year(2005-2006).\nPeyton Manning had 49 Passing TD's two years ago(2004-2005).\nJerry Rice had 22 receiving TD's in the 1987-1988 season. hope this helps!

i think the rules that protect QBs make some of the defenders a bit shy about teeing off on them when they run.  Urlacher was clearly faked out tho - first down!

So, some of you are gonna tell me that a ROOKIE who is gonna be the backup to a Pro Bowl player in Deuce McCallister is gonna rush for more yards than a guy who has averaged 1472.2 yds. per season for his first 5 seasons?  \n\nAlso, has anyone seen this guy catch the ball out of the backfield?  478.4 yds. per season out of the backfield.  This totals ALMOST 2,000 yds. per season...   \n\nBarring an injury to LT...this answer is a HUGE LT!

The Chicago Bears have the best defense in the NFL.  This is due to several factors.  Aside from players such as Brian Urlacher, Mike Brown, and now Ricky Manning Jr.(via Carolina), they're coaching staff is completely surrounded by defensive minds.  Head coach Lovie Smith was a defensive backs coach in Tampa Bay and a defensive coordinator in St.Louis.  Defensive coordinator Ron Rivera played for the Bears in '85 when they really did have the stingiest defense in the league.  They would have gone farther in the playoffs last year had they not had a breakdown in the secondary trying to cover Steve Smith of Carolina.  They seemingly have addressed that with the signing of Manning Jr.

I know the shortest was by a Dallas Cowboy named Randell Williams.\n\nPhiladelphia tried an onside kick and he ran it back for a touchdown on the opening play.\n\nIt was also a record for the fastest touchdown ever in a game.

It was not the Rothlesbrger TD, that was actually tough to see.  The worst call was definately the offensive pass interference.  Technically by rule in the NFL it was the right call, however there has never in the history of the NFL been such a petty call.

This season it's Thomas Jones. 212 attempts (4th most in the league) with 1 fumble.\n\nI couldn't tell you historically but I can bet Emmitt Smith is real close.

No one. There are only two players in NFL history to even have 2 career TD runs of 90+ yards. One is Ahman Green of the Packers. The other was Bo Jackson. Neither player even did it in the same season much less the same game.
