I suspect not.PRE 1973 only 1 player in NFL history ran for over 1,500 yards in a single season (best RB ever). Between browns retirement and 1973 no rusher had over 1300 yards. In 72 the dolphins ran to an (easy) undefeated season behind the first ever dual 1,000 yd backs. Then the bills ripped off 3,088 yards in a single season. Hell of a record, but hmmm what would cause a swing like that? Well in 72 the nfl changed the hash marks. I think a basic understanding of football should be enough to understand the benefit of the this change, how it affected the record books, and how it took several seasons for the nfl defenses to catch up.</blockquote>
