Question
Alvin Kamara has scored 21 touchdowns, but he hasn’t yet run for 1,000 yards – he’s sitting at 932 after 15 games. In NFL history, who are the only two running backs who’ve scored 20-plus touchdowns while finishing the same season with fewer than 1,000 rushing yards? Both players came just before the start of the Super Bowl era.
Answer
Lenny Moore and Gale Sayers. Moore scored 20 touchdowns for the Baltimore Colts in 1964 despite running for only 584 yards (he scored 16 rushing touchdowns, 3 receiving touchdowns and 1 on a fumble recovery). Gale Sayers as a rookie the next year for the Bears scored 22 touchdowns while rushing for 867 yards. For Sayers, he ran for 14 touchdowns, caught 6 and scored 2 TDs on kick returns.
