The 'Most rushing yards in an NFL season since 2000' quiz

Happy Birthday 39th birthday to five-time Pro Bowler, Pro Football Hall-of-Fame All-2010's team member and Super Bowl XLVIII champion Marshawn Lynch!

Lynch was one of the toughest runners of his generation -- earning the nickname "Beastmode," for his iconic rumbling runs though entire defenses for touchdowns. 

Which brings us to today's quiz. Lynch retired with 10,413 career rushing yards and 85 touchdowns -- leading the NFL in rushing touchdowns in both 2013 and 2014. With that being said, how many of the NFL players to rush for at least 1,500 yards in a single season since 2000 can you name in five minutes?

Good luck!
