Bryce Brown Already in Top 10

Bryce Brown set the Eagles’ record for rushing yards in a game by a rooke Monday night against the Carolina Panthers. It is the 10th-highest rushing total in Eagles history.

His 178 rushing yards were also the third-most by an Eagle running back in a loss. That seems fitting, as the two Eagles with more rushing yards than Brown in a defeat did so against the Cleveland Browns.

The most rushing yards in a game by an Eagle (*postseason game):

    You're telling me Van Buren ran for 205 and 196 yards in 1949, but didn't score a touchdown in either game? Who was the fantasy vulture on that team?

About this blog

Boop – who goes by Bob Vetrone Jr. when he is undercover or paying bills – has been at the Daily News since 1982, after working for five years at the Philadelphia Bulletin up to its closing. Along with helping to build the sports scoreboards most nights, he has had great input into the papers’ special sports pullouts – March Madness, Broad Street Run, Record Breakers, Greatest Moments – as well as its day-to-day, award-winning event coverage.

A 1980 graduate of North Catholic, he took some evening college courses. Those lasted right up until the first conflict with a Big 5 doubleheader.

His favorite books growing up were the NBA Guide and the Baseball Encyclopedia, which was, for all intents and purposes, the Internet before there was an Internet.

He has been immersed in sports statistics since the early 70s, when his father (long-time sports writer, broadcaster and the Daily News’ Buck The Bartender), would take him into the Bulletin newsroom overnight in the summer and let him update the Phillies statistics in a little, black spiral notebook. But things have changed tremendously in the decades since … He now uses a big, black spiral notebook. Email him at boopstats@phillynews.com.
