Tennessee Titans running back Chris Johnson has been named the NFL’s Offensive Player of the Year.
While several quarterbacks made a bid for the award, only Johnson was good enough to break a major barrier.
Johnson used a big effort in the season finale to top the 2,000 yard rushing mark on the season.
It made him only the sixth player in the history of the NFL to reach that mark, so he joins a very exclusive club.
He was also a terror out of the backfield catching passes, and at times was the sole weapon on the Tennessee offense.

Tennessee Titans star running back Chris Johnson just capped off a 2,000 yard rushing season. What’s next?
The speedy running back could be put to the test in a race against world record holder Usain Bolt.
Bolt has shattered the records in the 100 and 200 meter dashes and has proven to be virtually unbeatable.
The two sides are in discussions to put on a charity event that would certainly draw a lot of interest.
Johnson is hoping to keep the race shorter while Bolt wants it to be around 100 meters.

The Tennessee Titans rallied from behind to slip past the Seattle Seahawks, 17-13.
The game was meaningless for both teams, as each was already eliminated from playoff contention.
That said, the Titans had plenty to play for with running back Chris Johnson pushing for 2,000 rushing yards on the year.
Johnson was able to become just the sixth player to reach the mark when he dove for a four-yard gain.
It was another big day for the speedy running back, who finished with 134 yards rushing and two touchdowns.

The Tennessee Titans were given a beatdown by the San Diego Chargers in a 42-17 defeat that eliminated them from playoff contention.
Tennessee’s offense simply turned the ball over too many times while their defense forgot to show up on gameday.
The Titans were able to hang around for awhile but simply don’t have the offensive firepower to keep up with a good offensive team.
It was pretty clear that the loss of linebacker Keith Bullock was devastating for both the play on the field and the leadership that he brought to it.
Running back Chris Johnson still managed to have another spectacular game, rushing for 142 yards and a touchdown.
