I just heard on ESPN radio that Portis has gone over 120 yards in 4 straight games and ONLY JIM BROWN and OJ SIMPSON have ever done that.
That's not right - Barry Sanders did it:

So did Larry Johnson:

Still, it's impressive. He should have #5 next week, although I wouldn't count on another in Pittsburgh.

About 1000. And who would he bump from that list? His teammate, Shaun Alexander...

Idiot. Eat that.
While I appreciate your apparent loyalty to Joe, my answer was satirical, and meant as a joke. Joe has taken a lot of crap for that trade. It is good to see his vindication on the matter!

I didn't hear what Greenie said exactly, but the stat is actually that Portis, Brown, and Simpson are the only players to gain 120+ yards in four consecutive games more than once in their careers.

as good as oj,brown and sanders were,portis blocks a whole hell of a lot better than they did.oj had about the shittiest oline in history for most of his career too.
i'd take CP over all of them.he is what you would see if there was a picture definition of rb.

Anyone remember this from back in the offseason?
That's scary good that he was able to predict that and is now attempting/allowing it to come to fruition.
Nice research on digging that up Matty!

My vote is for Campbell right now....Here's a stat 332 Consecutive passes without an INT...
