Gore oldest since Riggins to rush for 1K yards

INDIANAPOLIS - Colts running back Frank Gore became the oldest running back since John Riggins to rush for at least 1,000 yards in a season when he topped that mark with an 18-yard run in the third quarter against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.

The 33-year-old Gore entered the game needing just 37 yards to top the milestone. Riggins, the longtime Washington Redskins running back, rushed for 1,239 yards in 1984 at the age of 35.
