Murray is now on a streak of seven straight 100-yard rushing games. Of the 17 Hall of Fame RBs whose

career began in 1960 or later, only 5 were able to run for 100 in seven straight games, and they each were only able to each do it once in their careers (other than Sanders if you count his 14 straight as 7-straight back-to-back):

-OJ Simpson, 7 straight games, Dec 1972-Oct 1973

-Earl Campbell, 7 straight games, Nov-Dec 1979

-Walter Payton, 9 straight games, Oct-Dec 1985

-Marcus Allen, 11 straight games, Oct 1985-Sept 1986

-Barry Sanders, NFL record 14 straight, Sept-Dec 1997

The 12 HOF RBs whose career began in 1960 or later who were never able to do that at any point in their careers are: Eric Dickerson, Emmitt Smith, Tony Dorsett, Marshall Faulk, Curtis Martin, Franco Harris, Thurman Thomas, Larry Csonka, Floyd Little, John Riggins, Gale Sayers, Leroy Kelly

The last RB to do it before Murray was Adrian Peterson: 8 straight games, Oct-Dec, 2012. It was the only time Peterson has done it in his career.

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      By TD alt · Posted

      Two things: 1. Dr. Eric Eager is central to the draft process 2. I know that it was edited, but we didn't hear "Thieneman" one time, not even before the Vikings pick.

      Why would he sign here as a guard when surely someone would sign him as a tackle?  Assuming he is healthy

      Went back to watching the highlights. With a sober mind haha. Here is what I saw.    freddie needs to make 1 of those but the rest aren’t on him.    Slavin was BBBBAAAD again last night. Not sure what is going on with these game one Slavin gafs.    miller was ok but had his worst game in the playoffs so far.    nikishin was no good. His his awful turnover led to the first goal at the end of the first period that just can’t happen. ghost was beat like a drum multiple times last night, including the go-ahead goal at the end jarivs wont shoot. He is either hurt or he is struggling mentally and I think it could be a combination of both. He passed up a wide open net on the power-play only to pass it to no one and cleared it himself.     Svech played well. He is getting zero help on that line.    aho. Worst game as a pro. I mean that. He won’t shoot it, passes go to no one and turns it over repeatedly.  He did exactly what they did against Montreal game one when Miller had a turnover. Aho left his man to go help and left the golden Knight player wide open in front of Freddie.  If I was Rod, you Tell Aho when that thing hits your stick you fire it  someone needs to sit him down just him in a room and ask what’s going on. He seems soft, timid and has zero fire.   canes could have won that game   There isn’t a gap between these two teams  they are dead even   Carter Hart’s gonna get lit up in this series. We can beat that guy. the consensus last night was our defense played horrible and our stars won’t score.  clean the defense up. Tell the top line to shoot it everything and we’ll win tomorrow night.   Possibly convincingly.
