In 2019, the Baltimore Ravens broke the NFL record for the most rushing yards in a season with 3,296 yards. Just last year, they set a new all-time record for the highest yards-per-carry average in a season at 5.8 yards. Through a technicality, they now no longer own either record—and those who do are dead.
Earlier this week, the NFL announced it was officially incorporating the records of the All-American Football Conference into its own history. The short-lived league only existed between 1946 and 1949, dominated by the Cleveland Browns. Within that league was the San Francisco 49ers, who now own the rushing records the Ravens briefly owned.
