I just looked it up, the dude had 202 yards rushing and 2 TD's that game. I think too many people forget about old Rudi. You get a lot of the Chad and Carson talk; TJ gets his love from time to time; Big Willie gets his shine. But Rudi doesn't seem to get brought up enough.
Over a 4 year stretch he averaged 1,295 yards and 11 TD's. And the first year of that stretch he only started 5 games. Dude was a beast.
Also a different era, too.
In 2020 only 8 RBs ran for 1,000+ yards. Only 2 ran for 1,200+ yards.
In 2004 those numbers were 18 and 10.
There were as many 1,300+ yard RBs in 2004 as there were 1,000+ yard RBs in 2020.
