| Roman Gabriel attempted 460 passes for Philadelphia, nearly a hundred more
than his next closest competitor, and led the league in passing yardage by
nearly 700 yards |
| OJ rushes for an unbelievable 2003 yards, becoming the first running back
in history to achieve this landmark. Making the accomplishment even more

| Mercury Morris just missed the 1000 yard mark, but amassed a 6.4 yard per
carry average! |
| Dave Hampton crosses the 1000 yard mark for Atlanta...then loses 5 yards
on his last carry to finish the season with 997! |

TDs for Philly |

the playoffs |
