Maurice Jones-Drew rushes for season-high 169 yards vs. Colts
Heading into the final week as the NFL's leading rusher, Jaguars running back Maurice Jones-Drew was unlikely to be caught.
When both of the next two leading rushers (Philadelphia's LeSean McCoy and Houston's Arian Foster) were inactive for today's games, it became a certainty.
That said, Jones-Drew saved his best for last as he finished with a season-high 169 rushing yards against the Colts today.
Not only did Jones-Drew close out the season with three straight 100-yard games, but he had at least 80 rushing yards in all but one game this season. No player has had more 80-yard games in a season than MJD.
This was the third straight season with 1,300-plus yards for MJD and he set a career high and franchise record this season (1,606 rushing yards). The previous franchise mark was 1,572 by Fred Taylor (2003). Both Taylor and MJD have three 1,300-yard seasons each.
In addition, Jones-Drew finished with 43 receptions for 374 yards and 11 total touchdowns this season.
