The Monday night madness game between the Baltimore Ravens and Cleveland Browns set an NFL Super Era record for the most combined rushing touchdowns in a game at 9.
Baltimore won the thriller 47-42 over the Browns thanks to their rushing game which amassed 231 total yards rushing and 5 TDs.
The Browns did well themselves from the group scoring 4 TDs but fell just short.
Combined, though, the nine rushing TDs is the most in any game in the NFL Super Bowl Era (1967+).
Only two other times did a game have 8 rushing TDs, that in 2004 when the Chiefs had 8 rushing TDs in a 56-10 win over the Falcons and in 2003 when the Broncos (5) beat the Chiefs (3) 45-27.
