They said during the broadcast that he had the second fewest carries to 1,000 yards. Forgot the guy's name that they said was first.

Still awesome though. And frustrating.

That stat is just one more thing that makes Gailey look like a fool. Shocking.

or if spiller got it in week 7?

i mean any feature back in the league would have that many carries in week 7... but not buffalo. We need to rest him... you know...7 games worth of rest.

Michael Vick in 06 actually had less carries to 1k yards too, so Spiller would be 2nd among backs.

Still impressive as hell.

Chicago Bears RB Beattie Feathers, almost 80 years ago (78 years).

OJ Simpson took approx. 170 carries to hit 1,000 in 1973 when he gained 2003 yards, he averaged 6.0 yards per carry that year. Good thing Gailey wasn't the Bills coach back then, OJ would of ended up with about 1,100 yards instead of the 2,003.
