For the fourth time in Cleveland Browns’ history, a rookie ran for at least three touchdowns in a game on Sunday. Former Pike Road High School star Quinshon Judkins achieved the feat as the Browns beat the Miami Dolphins 31-6.
Cleveland hadn’t scored more than 17 points in any game this season before Sunday, when Judkins ran for 84 yards and three touchdowns on 25 carries. Judkins broke a 3-3 tie with a 46-yard touchdown run with 11:19 left in the first half. He also scored on a 3-yard run with 6:03 left in the first half and a 2-yard run with 10:56 left in the game.
In the Browns’ second victory of the season, Judkins followed Chet Hanulak, Jim Brown and Travis Prentice in the franchise record book:
Hanulak ran for 94 yards and three touchdowns on 12 carries in a 42-7 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Dec. 12, 1954.
Brown ran for 237 yards and four touchdowns on 31 carries in a 45-31 victor over the Los Angeles Rams on Nov. 24, 1957.
Prentice ran for 97 yards and three touchdowns on 28 carries in a 29-21 loss to the Arizona Cardinals on Oct. 8, 2000.
