NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Only eight running backs in NFL history have rushed for at least 2,000 yards in a single season. After Sunday's Week 9 matchup with the Los Angeles Rams, three of the elite eight running backs will have worn a Tennessee Titans uniform.
Chris Johnson blazed his way to 2,006 rushing yards in 2009, and before Derrick Henry's 2,027-yard season last season, the last player to have surpassed the 2,000-yard plateau was Adrian Peterson, who finished with 2,097 yards in 2013 and won MVP.
Henry was on pace to record an unprecedented second consecutive 2,000-yard season before suffering a Jones fracture in his right foot that landed him on injured reserve.
