In addition to this, the 5-time pro bowler could also attempt to move closer to another record. He is 1,380 rushing yards behind Chicago Bears’ running back Walter Peyton’s 16,726. Peyton can relax as Gore has crossed 1,000 rushing yards just once since leaving the San Francisco 49ers in 2015. His highest rushing yards tally (961) in the last 3 seasons came with the Indiana Pacers in 2017.

In addition to these, he could attempt to go for the 15th season of a minimum of 600 rushing yards. The running back agonizingly missed out on a 15th consecutive season last year by a single yard. He recorded 599 rushing yards with the Buffalo Bills.
The 2019 season also marked the first time since his rookie year that he did not break the 700 mark in rushing yards. It is a clear sign that age is catching up to the ageless wonder. The signs were evident in 2018 itself where he did not record a single rushing touchdown for the first time in his lengthy career.
