Factoid
In the last five years combined, one player ran for over 250 yards in a game. That would be in 2007, when Adrian Peterson ran for a record 296 yards against the Chargers.
Now it's happened twice in the last three weeks -- both times by guys who weren't in drafted in most fantasy leagues. Jerome Harrison ran for 286 at Kansas City in week 15, and Jamaal Charles ran for 259 yards today at Denver.
