    Not him either.
    Guy who did it also set another NFL record in the same game that has since been broken. In fact, it was broken a few weeks later.

    I looked it up on that trivia question site. I don't think anyone will get it.

    James Wilder is the correct answer. He had 48 total touches (42 rushes and six receptions) in a 17-12 loss to the Steelers on Oct. 30, 1983. His 42 rushes were also an NFL record that was broken three weeks later when the Giants' Butch Woolfolk had 43 against the Eagles on Nov. 20. Woolfolk didn't catch any passes in his game, though.

    In 1984, Wilder had 47 touches (43 carries and four receptions) in a win over the Packers. Wilder tied Woolfolk's rushing attempts record in that game as well, but both players' total was surpassed by the Redskins' Jamie Morris when he had 45 carries in 1988 against the Bengals.

    They ran Wilder into the ground for a couple of years. He was practically the Bucs’ entire offense.

    See above. James Wilder and LaDainian Tomlinson are the two answers.

    Six players in MLB history have led their league in hits five times in their careers. Five are:

    Ty Cobb

    Stan Musial

    Pete Rose

    Tony Gwynn

    Ichiro Suzuki

    Who is the sixth player?

    Let’s try this again: Wee Willie Keeler

    Nope. He led the NL three times, and didn't even finish with 3,000 hits.
