2000 yard rushers in NFL history?

Answer 1

Six.

1973: OJ Simpson, Buffalo Bills, 2,003 yards

1984: Eric Dickerson, LA Rams, 2,105 yards

1997: Barry Sanders, Detroit Lions, 2,053 yards

1998: Terrell Davis, Denver Broncos, 2,008 yards

2003: Jamal Lewis, Baltimore Ravens, 2,066 yards

2009: Chris Johnson, Tennessee Titans, 2006 yards

Answer 2

From memory, only five people have rushed for 2,000 yards in a single season and they are:

• OJ Simpson (only man to do it in a 14 game season) (1973)
  
• Eric Dickerson (1984)
  
• Barry Sanders (1997)
  
• Terrell Davis (1998)
• Jamal Lewis (2003)

Chris Johnson has a shot at doing it this year, but he will need to post three really solid final games to do so.
