The 'Yearly NFL rushing yards-per-game leaders' quiz

Happy 46th birthday to 2003 AP Offensive Player of the Year, Pro Football Hall of Fame All-2000s team member and Super Bowl XXV champion with the Baltimore Ravens Jamal Lewis!

Lewis racked up seven 1,000-rushing yard seasons during his nine-year NFL career, with his most productive  year coming in 2003. He led the NFL with 2,006 rushing yards and a career-best 14 touchdowns. 

Which brings us to today's quiz. Lewis led the NFL with 129.1 rushing yards-per-game in the 2003 season. With that being said, how many of the players to lead the NFL in rushing yards-per-game in each season since 1990 can you name?

Good luck!
