The next member of the Green Bay Packers to rush for 200 yards in a single game will become just the second player in team history to ever accomplish the feat.
The Packers have only one 200-yard rusher in the franchise’s long history.
In 2003, Ahman Green – the team’s all-time leading rusher – ran 20 times for a team-record 218 yards and two touchdowns during the Packers’ 31-3 win over the Denver Broncos in the season finale. One of Green’s touchdowns was a 98-yarder, another team record.
The game is more widely remembered as the day when the Arizona Cardinals used a wild ending to come back and beat the Minnesota Vikings, sending the Packers to the playoffs.
Green’s 218 rushing yards broke the record set by Dorsey Levens in 1997. He rushed for 190 yards in a 45-17 win over the Dallas Cowboys. Prior to Levens, Jim Taylor held the record at 186 rushing yards for almost 40 years.
Green holds four of the team’s eight most productive rushing games in team history. He also rushed for 192 yards during a loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in 2003, a season in which Green finished with a team-record 1,883 rushing yards.
Only seven times since Green ran for 218 yards in 2003 have the Packers had a player rush for 150 or more yards in a game, including Aaron Jones’ career-high 154-yard game against the Minnesota Vikings last December. Najeh Davenport’s 178 rushing yards in 2004 are the most by a Packers player since Green’s record-setting performance.
Since 2004, there have been 56 different games with a 200-yard rusher in the NFL.
