Dunn Joins Elite Club of NFL Rushers

But Falcons Still Lose

Atlanta's Warrick Dunn became the 22nd player in NFL history to rush for 10,000 yards -- reaching the milestone with a 2-yard run against the Colts. Dunn's short run up the middle came early in the second quarter, giving him 26 yards on seven carries for the game and an even 10,000 yards in his career. The Georgia Dome crowd gave him a standing ovation, fireworks went off and Dunn made sure to grab the ball, which was tossed to the sideline for posterity. Dunn finished with 70 yards, pushing him to 10,054 in his 11-year career. Emmitt Smith is the leading rusher in NFL history with 18,355 yards.
