Jerome Harrison Sets NFL Record For Carries

With his 33 carries on Sunday, Jerome Harrison set an NFL regular-season record for carries over a three-game stretch.

Over the final three games of the year, Harrison ran the ball 106 times. Only two other backs have gone over 100: Earl Campbell (103 carries, 1981) and Rodney Hampton (102 carries, 1993).

John Riggins holds the record including the playoffs; the Redskins' back recorded a whopping 111 carries during the 1982 playoffs, finishing with 38 in the Super Bowl XVII win over the Dolphins.

Maybe you're using the wrong browser.
Yesterday at home, I got no filter blockings, and now somewhere else, the first one gets blocked.

Great coaching by Mangini, way to start using him when the season is over.

Took him 12 games to realise that there are no receivers or tight ends on the roster.

I think it took him 12 games to realize his job is actually in trouble. He didn't care about the season. He's the Roland Burris of NFL head coaches.

I'm sorry, but exactly what qualifies as an "NFL record"? Are you telling me that somebody in the NFL recordkeeping department actually decided to maintain 3-game-stretch records? What about stretches of other lengths?

Since plenty of places track game-by-game stats, it's not hard to figure out records for stretches of games.

My point is that there are records and there are records. Every play of every game sets an arbitrary number of records if one wants to get silly enough.

It's particularly ironic in light of this Tanier piece.
