Dual 100 Yard Rushers

Does anyone know what team holds the rcord for most games with two running backs going over 100 yards? I'm not sure it's a kept stat. It's not in the Redskins press guide as far as I can tell.

My other question is this: Which of the following reflects your best guess as to how Portis and Betts will fare together now that they are both known to us as star backs?

1. One or the other will shine but not both. One will have say 1400 yds and the other around 250.

2. They will be like Byner and Ervins or Franco and Bleir (sp?). One with 1200 and the other with say, 600.

3. They will share the load equally and each threaten the 1000 yard mark. Has that ever been done? I don't believe it has.


I would have to be a number 2 with Portis at about 12 or 1300 and Betts with say 550 and 40 receptions. Any thoughts?

#3 has been done, Earnest Byner and another guy who's name I can't remember did it for the Browns in like 1988.

the other back was cleveland gary.

Earnie Byner and Kevin Mack both went over 1000 yards for the Browns.

as did F. Harris & Bleir w/the steelers (I know you mentioned them)

uhhhhhhhhh i wouldnt call betts a star back

Mexico and Dunn both went over 1000 yards last year for ATL. I know MV isnt a RB but that is still pretty impressive.

I'll say 1300 Portis and 700 Betts.

I'll say 1300 Portis and 700 Betts.
See... I will say Portis 400 then torn ACL... Betts has 1100+ last year in 8 games, so lets give him 1400 in 11 games.
