Trivial Matters

Titanic Effort

After eight seasons with the organization Eddie George last week asked for and received his release from the Titans and signed with the Cowboys. George is the Titans' franchise career leader in rushing yards with 10,009. He's also tied for the best single-game performance with 216 yards. With whom is he tied?

a. Gary Brown
b. Earl Campbell

Oilers Toilers
George's release means only two players who played for the Oilers during their final season in Houston remain on the Titans' roster. Who are they?

Iron Man
George has started 128 consecutive games and is chasing the NFL record for running backs: 170 straight starts. The record holder played 13 NFL seasons, all for one team. The team struggled for most of those seasons, but he finally played in—and won—a Super Bowl near the end of his career. Can you guess this Hall of Famer's identity?
