I can't speak for Jacksonville Jaguars running back Fred Taylor , but I'm sure he would like to take a moment to thank the Carolina Panthers defense for laying down and giving up in the fourth quarter today.

With 9:48 left in the game the Jaguars already led 27-6, Taylor broke free for an 80-yard touchdown run. It was the 59th rushing touchdown of Taylor's career. It also allowed him, on Jacksonville's next possession, to gain 13 yards on two more carries, which put him at 10,457 yards rushing for his career -- a number that surpasses both Tiki Barber (10,449) and Eddie George (10,441) on the NFL's all-time rushing list, where Taylor now ranks 18th.

Fred Taylor is 18th on the all-time rushing list. Wow. I know he's been around forever, but I had no idea.

I didn't know he stayed healthy enough to get that many yards.

That's true. He's been hurt so much during his career. But then, he started out splitting time with James Stewart. That seems like ages ago.

He didn't...but by the same token, he was never worn down by 400 carry years...so it stands to reason that when not injured his legs were fresh...this is the quietest 10,000 yard gainer in pro football.
