The answer to #1 is Bo Jackson, 221, Raiders-Seahawks, 11/30/1987.

Battles' 215 was on 10/8/1933, Boston's fourth game of the season. So it would have been his 12th career game.

One RB for question 3 is Earl Campbell, 199 vs. Miami on Monday Night, 1978. I have a MNF 25th Anniversary tape and Frank Gifford declared this game as the best one ever.

According to the gamebook:
Referee - Bob Frederic (71)
Umpire - Lou Palazzi (51)
Head Linesman - Cal Lepore (72)
Line Judge - Royal Cathcart (16)
Back Judge - Don Wedge (87)
Field Judge - Bob Wortman (84)

Thanks!

Are the All-Americans (1920-1923), the Bisons (1924-1925) and the 1926 Rangers the same team, or are they different?

I found three others and a fourth one that just missed by a whisker. 9/25/1960 Browns 41, Eagles 24 Jim Brown 24-153 Bobby Mitchell 14-156 10/15/1972 Jets 41, Patriots 13 John Riggins 32-168 Emerson Boozer 18-150 10/19/2008 Titans 34, Chiefs 10 Chris Johnson 18-168 LenDale White 17-149 12/20/2014 49...

II & III: Both winning QBs played at the University of Alabama.

I wish you had listed the teams. Its hard enough to translate these Roman numerals, much less remember who played, especially for us old farts.

Mark and John, many thanks!!

This was the longest punt of 1958 and I'm trying to find the game in which it occurred. I've checked 5 game books and it didn't happen in these: 10/5 at Philadelphia 10/12 at Washington 11/23 vs Washington 11/30 vs Philadelphia 12/7 at Detroit Possible games are: 9/28 at Cardinals 10/19 vs Cardinals...

The first game numbering I could find is in the 1948 Record & Rules Manual. The games are listed alphabetically according to the visiting team's city name. Thus the 11/7/1948 games are: 32. Chicago Bears at Los Angeles 33. Detroit at Chicago Cardinals 34. Green Bay at Pittsburgh 35. Philadelphia...
