My Chris Johnson Blog

Chris Johnson has just completed a dream season. This was simply one of the best seasons in recent memory for a running back, and one of the greatest in the history of the sport.

During the team's week 17 win against the Seahawks, Johnson led the Titans to a victory over Seattle by the score of 17-13. While the game was meaningless for both teams as far as playoff hopes were concerned, there was one important milestone that occurred during the course of this football game.

Chris Johnson had an opportunity to break the 2,000 rush yard mark on the season, and he would become just the sixth player in NFL history to accomplish this milestone.

All he would need was 128 yards during the course of the game. While this would normally seem like a tall order, it was extremely doable for the skilled RB.

After all, he had already topped 100 or more rush yards in each of his last ten games. Additionally, he had an opportunity to set the single season record for the most total yards from scrimmage, as his 483 receiving yards on the year gave him some even more impressive all around totals.

Incredibly, he was able to accomplish both of these things on the same day. With 134 rush yards, Johnson's total eclipsed the 2,000 mark by 6 yards, and a few catches brought him past Marshall Faulk for the all-time yards from scrimmage record in a season.

Both of these accomplishments should be greatly commended. The young talent entered his second year of pro football with high expectations, but no one expected him to be the premiere running back in the league.

17 weeks later, Johnson has accomplished what no one else was able to, and he did it on a team that largely struggled during the beginning of the season. My hat goes off to him on this tremendous feat.
