The 'Most scrimmage yards in one NFL game' quiz

If there is a more explosive player in the NFL today than Jahmyr Gibbs, that player is going to have a hard time catching up to Gibbs to let him know. 

The Detroit Lions running back carried the ball just 15 times, but he exploded for 219 rushing yards with two touchdown rushes longer than 50 yards — including a 69-yard touchdown on the first play of overtime against the upset-minded Giants – while adding 45 receiving yards and another touchdown to drag Detroit to victory. 

“That dude is as good as they come in the league,” quarterback Jared Goff said after the win

“We’re lucky to have him. He’s so electric. You can tell the fear in the defense when he gets the ball in his hands.”

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Gibbs racked up a career-high 264 yards from scrimmage in Detroit’s 34-27 win. With that being said, can you name the NFL players to reach 260 scrimmage-yards in one game in the Super Bowl Era can you name in six minutes?

Good luck!
