On Nov. 20, 1983, Butch Woolfolk sets an
NFL record.
No
one remembers the name Butch Woolfolk in NFL lore.
His one-hit wonder in the
NFL was setting the record for most rushing attempts in a single game Nov.
20, 1983.
The
New York Giants shutout
the Philadelphia Eagles
23-0 on two touchdowns and four field goals. Woolfolk ran 43 times for 159 yards and a
touchdown. His per-carry average in that game was a cool 3.7 yards.
The
record stood on its own for a year until James Wilder of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers tied it
Sept. 30, 1984. Jamie Morris of the Washington Redskins had 45
rushing attempts against the Cincinnati
Bengals Dec. 17, 1988.
