Rushigami FAQ

What is a rushigami?

A rushigami is a rushing line from one NFL game, yards and touchdowns, that no player had put up in any earlier game since 1999. Every game either repeats a line some player already had in that span or produces a new one, and the new ones are the rushigamis.

Where does the name rushigami come from?

It borrows from scorigami, Jon Bois's term for an NFL final score that has never happened before; rushigami applies the same idea to one player's rushing line in one game.

What is the most common rushing line?

2 yards and no touchdowns, which has happened 2,324 times.

What counts as a rushing line?

Any regular-season or playoff game where a player had at least one carry, at any position. Negative yards count. Yards gained on a lateral without a carry do not.

What if two players post the same new line at the same time?

Both get credit. When two players reach the same new rushing line in games that kicked off at the same time, each is marked as a shared first.

Why does the rushigami count start in 2000?

The records start with the 1999 season, so every line that happened in 1999 was new by default. Those are marked first seen in 1999, and new lines count from 2000 on.

How often is this updated?

After every game day, once the NFL's player stats are posted. Stat corrections replace the old numbers on the next update.

How we count 58,448 games with a carry

Every regular-season and playoff game since 1999 counts, from the nflverse weekly player stats. A game counts when the player had at least one carry, at any position; yards gained on a lateral without one do not, and negative yards do. Games are ordered by kickoff time, so the first player to post a line gets the credit, and players whose games kicked off at the same time share it. 1999 is the first season in the records, so a line first seen that year is marked first seen in 1999, not counted as a rushigami. Teams carry their current names, so the Oakland Raiders count as Las Vegas and the San Diego Chargers as Los Angeles. The name follows scorigami, a term Jon Bois coined in 2014; his 2016 video explains the idea.
