Jim Brown recounts his experience in this 4 minute 46 second piece.

I highly recommend the film. On Netflix.

Did you know Jim Brown never, ever lost a yard when rushing for the Browns? He was never tackled for a loss. He averaged 5.2 yards per carry rushing and 9.5 yards per carry receiving.

Worcester,

I have heard that Jim Brown story before.
It is not true.
In Jim's lowest rushing game of his career (10/14/62), Jim had 11 yards on 14 carries.
I am pretty sure many other times he lost yardage on individual rushes.

I watched the film on Netflix a few weeks ago and found it to be tantalizing.

Tj, i just read posts on Reddit which supports your view that my statement that Jim Brown never lost a yard was apocryphal.
