1,000-yard duo: Vick and Dunn

History Published on : 12/21/2006

The Atlanta Falcons become just the fourth team in NFL history to feature a pair of players who've eclipsed the 1,000-yard rushing mark in the same season.

Falcons' running back Warrick Dunn reached the 1,000-yard plateau against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 15. One week later, he was joined by Michael Vick, who became the first quarterback in NFL history to rush for 1,000 yards in a season.

Here is a game-by-game breakdown of Warrick Dunn and Michael Vick's rushing totals:
