NFL All-Time Records: Blake Bortles now has the third-highest yards-per-carry average among any quarterback ever

Blake Bortles had the longest play from scrimmage in a Week 1 win over the New York Giants — a 41-yard dash to midfield. It was a good play. A fun play, even. But it catapulted Bortles into the record books.

With this run, Blake Bortles reached 1,452 rushing yards on 227 carries for 6.40 yards per carry. He now has the third-highest rushing average in NFL history among quarterbacks with at least 200 carries.
