Football carried by the "Tyler Rose"


Houston Oilers running back Earl Campbell joined Jim Brown to become only the second player to lead the NFL in rushing in each of his first three seasons.  A punishing runner, Campbell carried this ball during the 1979 season finale against the Philadelphia Eagles when he notched his second consecutive rushing title and a handful of other single-season records including most consecutive 100-yard games (7) and most 100-yard games in a season (11).
Campbell, Earl
