If you can run the football consistently, you’ll win a lot of games.

That’s the case on Sundays in real games or on computer screens in fantasy leagues around the world.

Running the ball is also the main focus of this week’s Trivia Tuesday challenge.

Can you name the running backs who have had the highest single-game rushing totals in each season dating back to 1996? We’ve given you the year, the team and the number of yards each back covered — all you have to do is name the player (and last names only are fine.)

There are obviously some household names on this list and there are also names that’ll make you say “I haven’t thought about that guy in years.”

You’ve got eight minutes to complete this quiz. Have fun!

Inconsistencies becoming urgent problem for Cardinals, Jonathan Gannon

Football is hard. Great teams make it look easy. Good teams stay above water. Bad teams look comically inept. The Cardinals are all over the map.
