Davis is arguably the best playoff running back in NFL history. In eight career playoff games he accumulated 1,140 yards rushing on 204 carries and 12 touchdowns. He helped lead the Broncos to back-to-back Super Bowl titles in 1997 and 1998. Davis dominated both playoff years with 581 yards rushing in 1997 and 468 yards rushing in 1998. He became the first player ever to rush for three touchdowns in a Super Bowl in 1997, when he was named Super Bowl MVP. Maybe even more impressive than the rushing numbers is the fact that Davis played the 1997 Super Bowl with a terrible migraine headache. In the 1997 playoffs, Davis scored a total of 48 points, an all-time record until it was broken in 2006. Davis also holds an all-time playoff record with seven straight 100 yard rushing games.
