A good NFL trivia question:
Name the top 5 rushers in NFL history in terms of yards.
Obviously some people are going to answer, so I'll include the answer below in white. Write down a guess and see if you know your NFL. <font color="white">1. Emitt Smith 2. Walter Payton 3. Barry Sanders 4. Curtis Martin (!!!) 5. Jerome Bettis </font> |

Re: A good NFL trivia question:
Are you surprised by #4?
The guy has been in the NFL for a decade and missed less than half a dozen games. Combine that with the fact that he's always been a top running back (led the NFL last year) and it's hard to believe he wouldn't be near the top. |

Re: A good NFL trivia question:
Hindsight being 20/20 of course I would consider it, but he definitely wasn't somebody I was thinking of.

I only got 2 right and he was one of them. #5, Jerome Bettis blew me away though. I would have never guessed him. |

Re: A good NFL trivia question:
Weird that you are surprised by Curtis Martin. I got the top four but guessed Dickerson instead of Bettis for #5. Looks like I would've nailed if you would've asked this question during the third quarter of the last game of last season!
1. *E Smith 18355 2. W Payton 16726 3. B Sanders 15269 4. *C Martin 13366 5. *J Bettis 13294 6. E Dickerson 13259 7. T Dorsett 12739 8. J Brown 12312 9. M Allen 12243 10. F Harris 12120 11. T Thomas 12074 12. *M Faulk 11987 13. J Riggins 11352 14. O Simpson 11236 15. R Watters 10643 16. *E George 10441 17. O Anderson 10273 18. *C Dillon 9696 19. E Campbell 9407 20. T Allen 8614 I think I might've gotten close to the whole top 20 except for Ricky Watters and Terry Freakin' Allen. That's where the (!!!) belongs. |

Re: A good NFL trivia question:
I got them all right. But I knew the order of the top 3 and Curtis Martin just moved up into 4 last year and I watched that game and remembered it and I just saw on SC that the bus was #5.

Re: A good NFL trivia question:
I had this discussion with a friend last year how weird it is to see #4 and 5 in this list. It's not necesssarily surprising, as durability and consistency at RB over prolonged periods are fairly rare qualities, but they just don't seem to be on that level.

Re: A good NFL trivia question:
Not on that level? They're both first ballot hall of famers. And until a couple of years ago both were among the most prodcutive runners in the league for ten years. Only Bettis has fallen off.
