It’s been a relatively quiet season for Frank Gore. In his first season with the Buffalo Bills, the 36-year-old has had one 100-yard outing, against the New England Patriots in Week 4, when he ran for 109 yards on just 17 carries.
Gore’s amazing career is certainly closer to its end than its beginning, but his longevity and productivity have been remarkable, particularly for a player who suffered two torn ACLs while in college at Miami. He’s missed just 10 games in 15 seasons.
And on Sunday in the Bills’ 20-3 victory over the Denver Broncos, he passed Barry Sanders for third place on the NFL’s all-time rushing list.
