Question

The Dolphins have placed Frank Gore on injured reserve, so his streak of playing in 126 consecutive games is ending. Among the other 30 running backs with over 10,000 career rushing yards, who are the only other two who played in more consecutive games?

Answer

Walter Payton missed a game as a rookie, then started 186 straight games; he’s No. 1. Eddie George played in 139 straight (starting 130 consecutive at one point, so he also comes in just ahead of Gore’s 126 straight starts). Jim Brown never missed a game, but he played only nine years and the seasons were shorter then (Brown played all 118 games from 1957-65).
