The Rush to 10,000
William F. Reed
December 18, 1995
When Barry Sanders made a 12-yard run in the first quarter of the Lions' 24-17 win over the Oilers on Sunday, he became only the 10th player in NFL history to surpass the 10,000-yard career rushing mark. Sanders reached the milestone in his 103rd game. Only Eric Dickerson (91) and Jim Brown (98) have gotten to 10,000 faster.
