The 'NFL rushing-yards leaders since 2000' quiz

Created on September 10, 2025 | Total tries: 1764 | Average Score: 21.9 out of 25 (88%) | Quiz FAQ

Josh Jacobs got his second season with the Green Bay Packers started with a decent rushing line of 66 yards and a touchdown on 19 carries. But after Green Bay’s 27-13 win over the Detroit Lions, head coach Matt LaFleur said it was what Jacobs (and his backfield mate Chris Brooks) did without the ball that impressed him the most.

Speaking about their efforts in pass protection for quarterback Jordan Love, LaFleur said it was the “best I’ve seen in my time here.”

The next challenge for Jacobs and the Packers comes on ‘Thursday Night Football,’ against the Washington Commanders

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Jacobs joined the Packers just one season removed from leading the NFL with 1,653 rushing yards as a Raider in 2022, eclipsing 1,000 rushing yards for the fifth time in his career with 1,329 in his first season in Green Bay. With that being said, can you name the NFL’s leading rushers for every season since 2000?

Good luck!
