Question for the Stat Experts about Miles...

[twentytwo]

I think they said that he set the record for most yards in two consecutive games for the Dallas Cowboys. Does anybody know where he stands in NFL history with those two games back to back? Just curious.

He definitely set the Cowboys Record for yards on consecutive games.

I heard it on NFLN.

I just posted this in another thread --

Since 1960, here are all of the receivers with at least 400 yards in back-to-back games --

450 Chad Johnson, 2006 (260, 190)
448 John Taylor, 1989 (162, 286)
442 Jerry Rice, 1995 (289, 153)
421 Miles Austin, 2009 (250, 171)
413 Flipper Anderson, 1989 (336, 77)
412 Terrell Owens,2000 (129, 283)
410 Jerry Rice, 1995 (121, 289)
400 Sonny Randle, 1962 (144, 256)


Rice's two instances came in three straight games (121, then 289, then 153).

Chad Johnson and Miles Austin are the only two guys on that list who ever had two straight games of at least 170 yards. Rice never did it in his entire career. The closest Owens ever came was 171 and 166 in 2002. Austin also is the first Cowboys player to do it.

Thanks Adam. I figured you would have the answer.

Austin also did that in his first two starts..... pretty amazing.
