Chiefs Jamaal Charles now up to 6.4 YPC

**Rain Man** · 04:51 PM

He brought his average up from 6.1 to 6.4 with today's performance, which is at the moment the highest average in NFL history for a season with more than 120 carries (as far as I can tell).

He has 203 carries for 1,303 yards (wow!), averaging 6.41 ypc.

Jim Brown's best season in 1963, which was the single-season rushing record for a decade, involved 291 carries for 1,863 yards, averaging 6.40 ypc. (Recall that this was a 14-game season.)

Beattie Feathers averaged more than 8 yards per carry as a rookie in 1934, but there's some debate about how many yards he actually had, and he had fewer than 120 carries.

So...three cheers for Jamaal Charles!

Hip hip....hooray!
