Hall, scheduled to become a free agent in the offseason, would become just the eighth player in franchise history to rush for at least 1,000 yards and the first since Shonn Greene had the second of his two 1,000-yard seasons in 2012. Hall would also join Chris Ivory, Thomas Jones (three times), Curtis Martin (seven times), Freeman McNeil (twice), Adrian Murrell (twice) and John Riggins. It would also mark the 19th 1,000-yard rushing season in franchise history.
