I want to go protest.

To be precise, Bettis's legendary fantasy game was 5 carries, 1 yard, 3 touchdowns.

They should have engraved that on his HOF bust

e: Like a lot of RBs, Bettis liked to dance around in the backfield playing pretend he was Barry Sanders. He could really truckstick people and he would have been a lot better if he'd used the Emmitt Smith/Terrell Davis style of pick your hole, make one cut and go straight forward as far as you can get. There were a lot of plays where Bettis danced around in the backfield and lost 2-3 yards when he could have gained 2 yards instead if he'd just lowered his head and plowed forward. That would have added up a lot over his long career.

I thought lowering dome and plowing forward was what he was known for though? Like, that's why he was called The Bus?
