List Of NFL Teams With Multiple 1000-yard Rushers
In American football, running (also referred to as rushing) is, along with passing, one of the two main methods of advancing the ball down the field.

Five of these duos consisted of running backs, and two of them consisted of a running back and a quarterback. The first 1,000-yard duo consisted of fullback Larry Csonka and halfback Mercury Morris. Csonka and Morris accomplished the feat as members of the Miami Dolphins during their 1972 season, when the team finished undefeated and won the Super Bowl. Morris finished with an even 1,000 yards; he had initially been credited with only 991 yards after the end of the regular season due to a statistician's error that ...
