Knowshon Moreno ran for 224 yards, and the Broncos still lost. That's unusual. Since the move to the 16-game season in 1978, only seven times has a running back gone for 200 yards and still not won.
Oddly, this has no happened 3 times in less than a year. Adrian Peterson and Jamaal Charles did it last year.
From 1978 thru most of 2012, it happened only four times.
