INDIANAPOLIS – After carrying the football an astounding 36 times at an age when most of his peers have long since retired, Frank Gore seemed puzzled about all the fuss.
Asked how his body felt a day after a career-high number of rushing attempts in Sunday’s blizzard conditions in Buffalo, the Indianapolis Colts running back shrugged.
“I’m straight,” the 34-year old veteran said, even with Thursday's game against Denver looming just four days later.
His answer was so unexpected, so improbable that it immediately prompted follow-ups.
Specifically: Huh!?
What running back at Gore’s age runs the ball that many times?
