  1. There's 10:59 left in the second quarter, and Don Calhoun has already had himself a whole game:

    Rushing Car Yds Avg Lg TD
    HB1 Don Calhoun 6 117 19.5 75 1

    The Bills drafted Don Calhoun in the 10th round in 1974 out of Kansas State. According to his 1977 card, Calhoun played in all 14 games as a rookie with Buffalo and the first five of the 1975 season. He rejoined his old college quarterback, Steve Grogan, and the Patriots on Nov. 22, 1975, with five games to go. Making his first start with New England on Dec. 7, 1975, Calhoun rushed for 103 yards on 15 carries against the Jets.
