What was the last team with two 1,000 yd rushers?

The Browns Board
14 10 780
  • 2 1000 yard rushers in a season?

    I was listening to some talk radio and they were talking about West and Crow and during an interview they said their goals this season were 1000yds and 10 tds each. This got the hosts talking about what was the last team, they mentioned Byner and Mack.

    It's pretty rare...and I'm to lazy to look it up.

  • Panthers

  • I still think the best 2 back team was Jacksonville will MJD and Fred Taylor

    The Gipper would know.

    Actually this a very good trivia topic, no one ever talks about the best 2 back tandem.

    The first names to come to mind are Mack and Byner. Then there was Harris and Blier back in the 70's.

  • Jim Kiick, Larry Csonka, Mercury Morris in 1972 for the Dolphins...1000 yard trio. That won't happen again.

    Oddest duo had to be Dunn and Vick in ATL...

    Can't happen again, if it never happened before. Kiick never ran for 1000 in a season.

  • Glenn Davis and Doc Blanchard. LOL!

  • Regardless of yards.......I'll take the tandem of Bo Jackson and Marcus Allen anyday hands down over any other tandem.

    1976 Steelers Franco Harris, Rocky Bleier

    1985 Browns Mack, Byner

    2006 Falcons Warrick Dunn, Michael Vick

    2008 Giants Brandon Jacobs, Derrick Ward

    The Browns tried something similar when they traded for Ernie Davis when they also had Jim Brown......but Davis died.
