Todd Gurley of the Rams did not have the best of numbers last Sunday in the loss

against the Ravens, but he did have another touchdown run. The rookie only had

66 yards on 25 rush attempts, but his touchdown was his fifth straight game with

3 touchdown rushes: Garrison Hearst (49ers in 2002 vs. Seahawks)

3 touchdown rushes: Knowshon Moreno (Broncos in 2013 vs. Jaguars)

Larry Rakestraw: 2

yards out in the Chiefs blowout of the Chargers. It was his third career
