THE YARD2K
CURSE
Three years ago
Ravens running back Jamal Lewis was the top ground gainer in the NFL, amassing
2,066 yards and becoming just the fifth man to break the 2K plateau. But he's
had two subpar seasons since. Could his decline have something to do with the
pounding he took during that big campaign? Here's how Lewis and the other
2,000-yard rushers fared in their next three seasons.
