But it was pretty common for RBs to score a lot of tds during that stretch. Before 2000 there were only 13 times a RB had scored 20 tds in a season (Emmitt did it twice). Over the next 7 years ('00-'06) 6 different RBs would do it a total of 10 times. But over the last 11 seasons it has only happened 3 more times.
Ya this speaks to what I said earlier about that offensive line in KC, one of the best of all time. They would manhandle any defense and had a very effective scheme. Both Holmes and Johnson were good RBs but they don’t get as much credit because of who was up front leading the way.
