Time For A New Streak

We all know Thomas Jones ended the Steelers streak of not allowing a 100 yard rusher 2 games ago. Its been some time since the feat happened, actually, since the Super Bowl season. Edge James did it when he was with the Colts, and the Steelers were obviously pissed. He failed to reach the plateau in the playoffs, and again this season with Arizona.

Without allowing a 100 yard rusher to anyone (pothead or not) on the Dolphins squad, the Steelers D is on the path to starting a new streak of not allowing a 100 yard rusher in a game. Here's a look back at those who tried and failed during the past streak, simply because its an astounding list to look at.
