Gray’s yardage total adjusted to 201

Published

on

Jonas Gray’s impresssive rushing performance on Sunday night against the Indianapolis Colts got a little better on Tuesday.

After a review of the game, the NFL and the Elias Sports Bureau determined that the New England Patriots running back rushed for 201 yards on 37 carries rather than 199 yards on 38 attempts.

The official change in the statistics resulted from a play in the fourth quarter. On third-and-2 with 10:31 left, Gray rushed for minus-2 yards. But there was a personal foul penalty that was accepted by the Patriots, erasing the negative carry and boosting his yardage total past 200.

The 200-yard rushing game is just the third in Patriots history. The others were 212 yards by Tony Collins on Sept. 18, 1983, against the New York Jets and Jim Nance on Oct. 30, 1966, against the Oakland Raiders.

Gray entered the game with no NFL touchdowns in his career and ran for a franchise-record four against the Colts. The last player to accomplish the feat was Herb Henderson of the Evansville Crimson Giants in 1921.

On Monday night, Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell also broke the 200-yard barrier with 204 on the ground in a 27-24 win over the Tennessee Titans.
