Question

The Bucs and Falcons play tomorrow. Warrick Dunn famously had 1,000-yard rushing seasons for both of these teams. What running back is the all-time king of this category, with 1,000-yard seasons not only for teams in the same division, but teams that in those years went to Super Bowls?

Answer

Wendell Tyler. He ran for 1,109 yards for the Rams in 1979 -- the season they played Pittsburgh in the Super Bowl. And Tyler ran for 1,262 yards for the 15-1 San Francisco team that beat Miami in the Super Bowl following the 1984 season.
