Single-Game rushing records by team See All News

Rookie running back Doug Martin led the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to a 42-32 win on the road over the Oakland Raiders in Week 9 of the 2012 season. The first-round draft pick out of Boise State returned to his hometown and put on a show to remember. He rushed for a franchise record 251 yards and scored four touchdowns in the victory as a large contingent of family and friends watched. Martin’s output eclipsed the previous record of 219 yards gained by James Wilder against the Minnesota Vikings on Nov. 6, 1983.



Martin’s record was one of two team marks that were set during the ’12 season. DeAngelo Williams established the single-game rushing record for the Carolina Panthers when he rushed for 210 yards in the team’s 44-38 win over the New Orleans Saints in the season finale on Dec. 30, 2012. The Panthers record had belonged to Jonathan Stewart (206 yards versus the New York Giants on Dec. 27, 2009.)
