The 'Most 165-rushing-yard NFL games' quiz

Just as everyone predicted before the season, the Indianapolis Colts are 2-0. 

What isn’t surprising about Indy’s undefeated start is running back Jonathan Taylor running rampant. After rumbling for 71 yards on 18 carries in the Colts dominant 33-8 win over Miami in Week 1, Taylor exploded for 165 yards on 25 attempts for 6.6 yards-per-carry and a 68-yard rush while adding 50 yards and a touchdown on two receptions in Week 2. 

Next up for Indianapolis is another juicy matchup for Taylor with division-rival Tennessee, who have allowed the fourth-most rushing yards-per-game (150) in the NFL through two contests. 

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Week 2 was Taylor’s eighth-career 165-rushing-yard game. With that being said, can you name the 29 NFL players to reach that mark at least five times in their career?

Good luck!
