Top 100 Runs in NFL History!

Especially when they're a good team like the New York Giants. Ran over Charles Woodson. And this is going to wrap it up. And there goes McCoy. Through the giant defense. Out of bounds at the two-yard line. Napoleon Hoffman is in the backfield. Trailing by two. Needing just a field goal for the win. Just over a minute to go. Spin move by Taylor. Stays on his feet. Taylor breaks the tackle. Breaks another. Jacksonville. With the championship riding on its shoulders, Steve Van Buren blasts off right tackle for the game-winning touchdown. Walter Payton again. And breaks into the Lions secondary. Another first down. Still going. Still fighting inside the 30 to the 28. And I can't describe it. And I would hate to try to tackle it. They've played a tremendous game so far against the Bears. Second down and goal. They go to Bettis again. Bettis gets hit. Still driving. Touchdown. They thought that it could be a Jerome Bettis kind of day. And it is. His second touchdown here. Cowboys jumping around on defense. Cunningham on play action looks. Now he starts to take off. He is bouncing around. Now takes off to the far side. He is faking and then ducking. And then cutting across the 40 to the 45. And Randle with a 10-yard gain. I don't know how he did it. Chiefs at 2 and 3. Chargers looking for a 6th consecutive win. Charles trying to get to the edge. Inside the 15. Cuts back. Still going. Inside the 10. Charles walloped into the end zone. But he is in. That's across the 50. He's to the touchdown from 58 yards away. With this cut here as he makes right here. You can't teach a guy that. You can't teach a guy with the great vision. But as you see, he loses a shoe and continues to run. Right there. One shoe back ways. And another on his foot. He gets away from Carnell Lake. Playing it cozy in this third quarter when he had the ball. Which hasn't been much. Another big hole open. Going through Asunca. The 40, 30. Just building one man out of the way. The floor in motion.

He hit Steve Brown with what looked like a karate kick. Still on his feet. 20. Pitch back to Payton. Walter Payton. Look at this kid play football. Isn't he something? He's going to go the distance possibly. Isn't he amazing? He is literally astounding. Washington scored 24 unanswered points. Tough game here. And here he 3s. Going to run for the first down. And still on his feet. RG3 is going to outrace everybody. Pitching to Wendell. He doesn't have a big play team. Chasing from Smith. Touchdown. To the ground game. A little swarm. Lynch breaks a tackle. Marshawn Lynch. He's gone. Touchdown, Buffalo. Stabler to pass. Steps away. The ball. Jimmy Taylor off the right side. Finds daylight. When you have a fullback such as Jim Taylor, the fans, especially Green Bay fans. He's got the block. He's inside the 10. He's at the 5. Cuts into the end zone for the touchdown. Second down and 9. And it's Jamal Lewis. Got an opening. I'd say he's going to get his touches. After 1. Back at the 2 1⁄2 yard line. Wilson under center. He's going to hand it off to Lynch.

And if you talk to players on the other teams, they'll tell you that they miss Albert Hainsworth. Maurice Jones-Drew breaking it back. And Maurice Jones-Drew down the sideline. Can they catch him? Maurice Jones-Drew touchdown Jacksonville. Now just watch the rest of this spectacular run. Yukes his way through the entire secondary. Other oaks it off the line of scrimmage. Dayton is chased. Got away from Ninkovich. Dancing. Gets away from Chandler Jones. Setting up space. There goes Cairn. And to the highlight reel, that one. Newton to midfield. That might be the greatest play off-seed. Can't do anything. Still a great situation. Carson, no place to go. He's at the line. Kenneth Davis. Oh, what a run by Davis. He's going to go the distance. Touchdown, Mills. It is McCord in motion. And here comes Mike Vick coming nearside with the football. In trouble. And Vick gets away from one. He's still on his feet. Now he cuts it to the right side. He's cut it to the middle. He's got the first down, and he is down at the 28-yard line. How did he do that? Houdini was born not far away from here in Green Bay. On the move now. Pitch. Johnson trying to get him to the outside. Johnson doubles back the other way. Chris Johnson has some room to work with. Good block by Young on the nearside. And Johnson able to turn it upfield.

This is just all Warrick Dunn because of his ability to keep his feet. Gale Sayers the superstar. He cuts, weaves, stops, and goes. He runs with power and precision. This is the eye of a hurricane. Gives to Thomas. Good blocking at the line. Broke a tackle and then got one from Andre Reid. Great effort by Thurman Thomas. Bucs at the 26. Allstott, no hold, trying to slip his way out. Gets outside. Look at those moves by the big man. He's still going. Favorable run by Mike Allstott to the 11-yard line. He picked up 15 yards when there was nothing there. Almost offside, but the Packers got back on. High formation behind Ponder, back to Adrian, stretch right. Shakes a tackle at the 22. Turns the corner at the 30. Cuts left at the 40. He gets by Cam Chancellor. And Adrian Peterson is inside the 5 and taken down at the 1-yard line. Mismatches depending on where he lines up. Here's Tomlinson. Pick first.

How does he escape? Unbelievable run by Miriam Barber to save two points. That goes down in the books as a two-yard run. Hugh McElhinney remained atop his throne as the king of football's broken field runner. Ran target and slips a reverse to McElhinney. Hugh fills up a full head of steam. Then turns in the most exciting run of the year. McElhinney sidesteps one defender after another to go all the way. Out of that total. Breaking into the open field. And he shoves away one, shoves away another, and blasts his way into the end zone. A spectacular run by the most spectacular runner in the NFL, Adrian Peterson. Marking out the signals for the Baltimore Colts. Unitas gives to Amici. The Colts are the world champions. Amici scores. At the middle. Here he goes. Going all the way. Here they go. To the 20. To the best chance they have had. On second and eight. Campbell. Hunty Horsmeyer then takes Lane's pitch out. Cuts between two Colts defenders. Stiff arms the safety man. Waits for his blockers. And even though he's hit from behind, keeps right on his merry way to rack up six points for the Lions. Big opening for Tony Dorsett. Look out. He's got great speed. 99 yards and a half.

And Walter Payton, who may carry the ball 30 times before the day is over, isn't resting. Payton, 30, 35. Look out. He might go. Look at that run. Payton's going to take it in for a touchdown. He's had a lot of great runs. None any better than that. Hold onto your seats for this play, folks, for it will be a long time before you see another like it. Goes barreling down the sidelines. Hops into the end zone. Can't defeat him. He's there goes Bowe. And nobody catches Bowe. Touchdown. He may not stop until Tacoma. Drew Craig still on his feet, still running.

I'm going well up here. Beautiful running. Earl Campbell is strong. Put his shoulders into your chest. Galloping Willie Gallimore, one of the flashiest men to hit the National Football League in years, reverses his field, bobbles the ball, catches it, brushes off tackler after tackler, and finally winds up in the end zone on a spectacular touchdown. 15 now. 21.

Touchdown, Washington Redskins. 42-yard touchdown run on fourth and a foot. John Riggins has given the Redskins the lead in Super Bowl XVII. Another piece of art. So now they've got to start from deep in their end of the field, and Garrison Hurst takes advantage of it. Takes a handoff. Sweeps to his right. Gets to the 20. He's on the 30. Needs to cut in. He comes back up the right sideline. Breaks the third tackle. Marathon. And he goes into the. Young. Back to throw. In trouble. He's going to be sacked. No. Gets away. He runs. Gets away again.

Breaks. Crowd silent now as opposed to when the Saints have the ball. Oh, look at this run. What a run. Marshawn Lynch dancing his way. The effort that I've ever seen in my life from a running back. Downhill, physical, runs through Jabari Spear. Get off me, he said to Tracy Porter. All the offensive linemen. Are you kidding me? What a run. What an amazing effort by Marshawn Lynch.
