But which teams have carved their names into history with the most rushing yards in a single season? This article dives deep into the archives, exploring the rushing juggernauts that have dominated the trenches and racked up eye-popping yardage totals. We&#8217;ll uncover the offensive schemes, the dominant running backs, and the unique circumstances that propelled these teams to the top of the rushing charts.

game. The 1978 edition of the New England Offense churned out 3,165 yards in a 14-game regular season. Amazingly, they did it by committee, too, as not one runner on the roster sniffed the 1,000-yard mark on the season, but four men surpassed 500 yards on the well-balanced attack. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/C\/CunnSa00.htm\">Sam Cunningham<\/a> led all Patriots with 768 yards on the year.

Let&#8217;s remember the All-America Conference&#8217;s &#8217;48 Niners that eclipsed any NFL mark (3,663). With a renewed emphasis on the running game in recent years, teams strategically incorporate dual-threat quarterbacks and powerful running back committees. It&#8217;ll be intriguing to see if the Ravens&#8217; record remains untouchable or if a future team, fueled by a potent rushing attack, can rewrite the history books and claim the rushing crown. One thing&#8217;s certain: the battle for rushing supremacy promises to be an exciting aspect of the NFL for years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1725652971864\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What NFL team has the most rushing yards in a season?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The 2019 Baltimore Ravens ran for 3,296 yards, an NFL record for team rushing yards in a season.
