Martin & Sims the NFL's Top RB Duo

In one of our Week 15 Stat Shot round-ups, we noted that, while he kept falling just short of 100 yards, Buccaneers running back Doug Martin was still in the midst of a rare streak of productivity. Martin had rushed for 235, 97, 95 and 81 games in his last four outings, which tied for the second-longest streak of 80-yard games in team annals. As it turned out, he would make it five in a row with 91 yards on 18 carries at St. Louis, giving him his own spot at second place on that list. His current run is actually the first time a Buccaneer running back has hit 80 yards in five straight games in the same season.
