Question
O.J. Simpson, on Thanksgiving Day in 1976, ran for an NFL-record 273 yards in a game at Detroit. What four running backs since that time have broken the single-game rushing mark?

Walter Payton raised it to 275 the next year in a game against the Vikings. That mark stood until Corey Dillon ran for 278 yards in 2000 against the Broncos. Jamal Lewis raised it to 295 in 2003, running for the Ravens against the Browns. Adrian Peterson is the current record holder at 296, achieved against San Diego in 2007.
