Quote:Alexander's offensive line paved the way for two NFL rushing records by Bengal's RB Corey Dillon. During his rookie season in 1997, Dillon rushed 39 times for 246 yards and 4 touchdowns in a 41-14 win over the Tennessee Oilers breaking Jim Brown's NFL rookie single game record that had stood for 40 years. On October 22, 2000, Dillon set an NFL record for most yards rushed in one game (278 yards) against the Denver Broncos, breaking Walter Payton's single-game mark of 275 yards set on November 20, 1977.[18]
In 2015 Alexander was featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated in its article: "The Mozart behind the Bengals 6-0 record". In 2017, Pro Football Focus ranked his offensive line #1 statistically in pass protection over the 11 year life of their measure; also in 2017, he was once again recognized by Sports Illustrated as the top offensive line coach in the business and named to their "Dream Team Coaching Staff".[19][20]
