In Their Own Words
“R-E-L-A-X. Relax. We're going to be okay.”
— Aaron Rodgers, press conference after starting 1-2 in 2014

Signature Moments
18,355 Rushing Yards — The All-Time Record
Smith retired as the NFL's all-time leading rusher with 18,355 yards. He did it with consistency, vision, and one of the greatest offensive lines in history. He rushed for 1,000+ yards in 11 consecutive seasons. The record stood unchallenged for over 20 years.
The all-time rushing king. 18,355 yards. He wasn't the fastest or the most elusive — he was the most consistent back in NFL history.
The Separated Shoulder Game — 1993 Giants
With the NFC East title on the line, Smith separated his shoulder in the first half. He refused to come out. He rushed for 168 yards and the winning touchdown while playing with one arm. The Cowboys won the division and eventually the Super Bowl.
Separated shoulder. One arm. 168 yards. Won the game. Emmitt Smith's toughness in one play.
Three Super Bowl Rings — The Cowboys Dynasty
Smith won three Super Bowls with the Cowboys in four years (XXVII, XXVIII, XXX), forming a dynasty with Troy Aikman and Michael Irvin. He was Super Bowl MVP in XXVIII, rushing for 132 yards and 2 touchdowns against the Bills.
Three rings in four years. The Triplets — Emmitt, Troy, and Michael — were the last great NFL dynasty before the Patriots.
