answer:I found this list so far: 1. 296 yards – Adrian Peterson, MIN vs S.D. – 30 carries – 3 TDs 2. 295 yards – Jamal Lewis, BAL vs CLE – 30 carries – 2 TDs 3. 278 yards – Corey Dillon, CIN vs DEN – 22 carries – 2 TDs 4. 275 yards – Walter Payton, CHI vs MIN – 40 carries – 1 TDs 5. 273 yards – O.J. Simpson, BUF vs DET – 29 carries – 2TDs The O.J. game was Thanksgiving, 1976. But this doesn’t mean the record for a white dude was necessarily before that date. It just means no white man ever got 273 yds after 1976.
