HOUSTON — Much of the talk this past offseason about Indianapolis Colts running back Frank Gore revolved around various numbers and accomplishments the 33 year old could achieve throughout the 2016 season.
Could Gore move into the Top 10 in NFL history in career rushing yards? Could he become the oldest running back in league history since John Riggins in 1984 to rush for 1,000 yards in a season? Could he rush for 100 yards in a game, becoming the first Colts back to accomplish that feat since the 2012 season?
Last week, Gore took care of the first item on the list, moving past NFL legend Jim Brown for ninth place on the league’s all-time rushing list.
