What a joke. Bettis was a mediocre running back at best. Never won any NFL rushing title, but then again during his time he was going against Barry Sanders, Emmitt Smith, and Terrell Davis who dominated the 1990's at rushing.
The first thing people will point out is all them other 1,000 yard rushers after Davis. Portis and Mike Anderson were great in the regular season but did nothing in the playoffs. Davis went into playoffs against a stack box and still dominated. Bettis was non-factor in the playoff. Bettis has only 674 yards and 9 TDs in 14 playoff games, while Davis had 1140 yards and 12 TDs in only 8 playoff games.
