Question

Who’s the only player who’s been a 1,000-yard rusher for two different franchises that played in Super Bowls? This player ran for 1,109 yards for a team that lost in a Super Bowl. Five years later, he ran for 1,262 yards for a different team that won the Super Bowl.

Answer

Wendell Tyler (with the Rams and 49ers). After playing his college ball at UCLA, Tyler was a third-round pick by Los Angeles in 1977. He had a pair of 1,000-yard seasons with that team. The 49ers traded for him in 1983, and Tyler the following year helped the 49ers beat Miami in Super Bowl XIX.
