The past meets the present, in a unique way, maybe.
Bills quarterback Josh Allen did something pretty rare last season, he led the team in rushing yards with 631. That edged out LeSean McCoy’s 514 yards behind a brutal Bills offensive line.
According to Dolphins Wire, only seven times has a quarterback led their team in rushing. Allen last season is the most recent.
This season, a whopping three players might join this list. Two are obvious in Baltimore’s Lamar Jackson and Arizona’s Kyler Murray. The third? Former Bills and current Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick.
Fitzpatrick owns an 89-yard lead over the next closest active rusher for Miami (219 versus 130 for Patrick Laird) with two games to play.
It remains to be seen which, if any, of those three keep their stats in-tact over the final two games of the year. But Fitzpatrick is certainly the most surprising of that bunch. It’s not a shock to see him rack up some rushing yards, but leading a team? That’s different.
