Great link!
I was kind of surpised that Faulk only had 16 career rushing TDs in 13 seasons with Patriots.

Dominick Davis had 1188 in 2004. That puts him on the top 5.

Having played a bit against Ridley in high school makes this so much more exciting to me

82 yards today moves Ridley into 2nd place on this list with 1,345 yds.

If Pats make it to Super Bowl, he has a chance to move into 1st place.

Davis looked like he was going to have a great career until the injuries.

That's the best we've had in the NFL after all these years?
