    NFL subtracts two yards from Jacobs' total vs. Bills

    Take two: NFL subtracts rushing yards from Jacobs
    http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3170029
    The NFL has officially deducted 2 yards from Brandon Jacobs' rushing total in the Giants' victory at Buffalo last Sunday.


    Because of the change, the Giants' rushing total no longer is the most in the league since 1959.

    A loss is a loss no matter whether it sets a record or not.

        Updated what page? I think the article is wrong. Strange.

          HOLY CRAP! That means we've moved up to 44th out of 32 in rush defense!
          Damn we're good!
          In my day we did not have self-esteem... we had self-respect, and no more of it then we earned.

              Did you include the -5 yards for Reuben Droughns? It is about total yards. Maybe you took math lessons from keithtr?

                Lewis and Co had 343 yards rushing against Cleveland in '03, Peterson and others had 378 against San Diego earlier this year...

                Because of the change, the Giants' rushing total no longer is the most in the league since 1959.
                The Giants rushing total against us is no where near a record, or the most since '59.

                  They were talking about a Giants record. Remember Giants were in the league in 1959.

                    Are you sure? Pretty poorly worded don't you think? No where in that article does it say team record.

                    Really? Maybe you should have clicked on my link.

                    J. Lewis 30 295 2 82
                    A. Ricard 2 36 0 30
                    C. Taylor 5 8 0 5
                    K. Boller 3 3 0 3
                    T. Taylor 1 1 0 1

                    295+36+8+3+1= 343

                    343 > 291

                    Just so you know, I am a bit of a math wizz.

                      I am familiar with that game but they are talking about Giants' record. I agree the editor did a poor job of writing that article from AP report.
