Consecutive 1,000-Yard Seasons by Three Different Running Backs

Sort of lost in all the other stories this season is the fact that the Cowboys have had three different running backs rush for more than 1,000 yards in three consecutive seasons.

(Hat tip to Robert Stiltner, who asked me on Facebook why nobody has mentioned this. I did the research based on his comment.)

The Cowboys are the third team in NFL history to accomplish the feat. The other two instances each happened since 2003.

Denver Broncos (2003-2006)

The Broncos under Mike Shanahan became famous for finding a seemingly endless number of running backs.
