With his 86-yard touchdown run in overtime, Josh Jacobs took his yards from scrimmage to 303 yards, which, per Pro Football Reference.com is tied for eighth best ever.

Here is the list with the arrow making where Jacobs' total now ranks.

Jacobs is now tied with Cleveland Rams end Jim Benton who had 303 receiving yards on November 22, 1945.

    Benton held the record for many years and was the second leading receiver of the 1940's to the dominant Hutson but still cant get voted into the HOF.

    I might be in the minority but Priest Holmes has a case for the HOF himself with his All-Pro selections, over 90 career TDs, not counting postseason and a SB ring with the Ravens. He tried to hang on after a terrible knee injury after his ninth season but in my mind, has the same injury argument as Terrell Davis.

    1. Sorry, a spinal injury, not knee injury to Holmes.
