What player holds the record for most rushing attempts in an NFL game? This player oddly ran for more than 100 yards only once in his career. He has an older brother who is better known.
Answer
Jamie Morris. A fourth-round pick by Washington in 1988, Morris carried 45 times for 152 yards in the final week of that season – a loss at Cincinnati. Morris had two notable games the following year. He carried 26 times for an even 100 yards in a win at Dallas (his only other 100-yard game), and he carried 38 times for 88 in a win at Philadelphia. Morris had only 2 rushing attempts in his third and final season. He is five years younger than Joe Morris, who ran for 1,516 yards for the 1986 Giants team that won the Super Bowl.
