Dolphins Had a Total of 2 (Two!) Yards Rushing Against the Bucs

[BusSport]

Dolphins had a total of 2 yards rushing against the Bucs. That's not twenty, that's not a typo, that's two.

I'm not hating against the Dolphins; I'm just amazed at the statistic. I didn't think it was possible to get a total of just 2 yards rushing by an entire NFL team in a game, much less against this year's Bucs.

Now that I'm looking it up, according to this link:

What team allowed the fewest rushing yards in an NFL game

the record was set in 1943, by the Chicago Cardinals who managed -53 (negative 53) yards against the Detroit Lions.

Still, 2 yards rushing is pretty bad.

Well they did lose 2 offensive lineman last week.

Yeah, but someone should have told them they're allowed to fill those spots with other people LOL

I think GB held Barry Sanders to -2 in a playoff game once.

I may be wrong but in the defense of lamar miller, he only had 7 carries... and that was spread out throughout the game... very tough to get it going when you dont touch the ball...

2 yards on 14 carries last night

they only had 20 at Cleveland (0.9 YPC) and 22 vs the Ravens (2.0 YPC)

those were the 3rd and 4th worst totals in Dolphin history

now the worse three in team history are...

2 yards against Bucs last night (0.1 YPC)

7 yards against Minnesota in 2006

14 yards against the Los Angeles Raiders in 1990

here is how Miami did in the rest of their games this season:
157 (5.2 ypc) v Bengals
156 (5.0 ypc) at Patriots
120 (4.8 ypc) v Bills
115 (6.1 ypc) at Saints
101 (3.7 ypc) at Colts
90 (6.0 ypc) v Falcons

compare Miami's rushing totals to the Saints:

242 (6.4 ypc) v Cowboys on Sunday night
131 (5.0 ypc) at Patriots
104 (4.3 ypc) v Cardinals
78 (2.7 ypc) v Falcons
77 (3.0 ypc) v Bills
75 (3.8 ypc) at Bucs
68 (2.8 ypc) v Dolphins
66 (2.4 ypc) at Bears
41 (3.2 ypc) at Jets

even after last night, there are seven NFL teams averaging less rushing yards per game than the Dolphins (Browns, Steelers, Cowboys, Giants, Ravens, Jaguars, Falcons)

and there are 12 NFL teams still averaging less rushing yards per carry than Dolphins (Cowboys, Bengals, Saints, Chargers, Rams, Broncos, Browns, Steelers, Falcons, Giants, Ravens, Jaguars)
