Jerome Bettis: 49.6% (2nd among 26 RBs w/ 2000+ attempts since 1989)
Warrick Dunn: 40.7% (26th among 26 RBs w/ 2000+ attempts since 1989)

Figure it out people. Seriously.

The Steelers were 108-1-1 under Bill Cowher when leading by more than 10 (11+) at ANY point in a game. The one tie came in 2002 against the Falcons and Bettis had ZERO carries as he hadn’t yet recovered form a sprained MCL. The one loss came in 2001 against the Bengals and Bettis was injured and inactive due to a severe groin injury. THE STEELERS NEVER LOST A GAME IN WHICH THEY LED BY 11+ IN A GAME IN WHICH BETTIS CARRIED THE BALL. NEVER.
