Posted by Gary Glenn on October 25, 2012 – 1:07 pm

Chris Johnson’s 195 rushing yards last week ranked third in his career and 11th in Oilers/Titans history. The performance also put him over the 6,000-yard rushing mark for his career.

Additionally, Johnson leapfrogged into fifth place on the franchise’s all-time combined net yards list. Combined net yards take into account rushing, receiving and all returns.

Johnson’s 6,141 career rushing yards and 1,536 receiving yards (no return yards) give him a total of 7,677 combined net yards in his five seasons with the Titans.

Against the Bills, he moved past former Oilers wide receiver Drew Hill, who netted 7,500 yards during his career.

Johnson is within 1,100 yards of Ernest Givins, whose 8,704 combined net yards rank fourth in team annals.

Most career combined net yards* in franchise history:

12,153 – Eddie George
11,202 – Derrick Mason
9,292 – Earl Campbell
8,704 – Ernest Givins
7,677 – Chris Johnson
7,500 – Drew Hill
