Bucs' Doug Martin piles up yardsGreg Auman, Times Staff WriterSaturday, October 31, 2015 Doug_Zpsyymsxtmn.jpgDoug Martin has three consecutive 100-yard rushing games for the first time in his NFL career, and another strong showing against the Falcons can add his name — again — among the best four-game stretches in team history.Martin has 365 yards in his last three games — continue that pace against the Falcons and he'll have one of the 10 best four-game stretches in Bucs history. Of course, Martin has four of the five best four-game stretches in team history, including a club-record 592 yards during Weeks 7-10 of his rookie year in 2014.Here are the top 10 — only four different backs make the list — and before you get too excited, know that the NFL record is far more — O.J. Simpson had 765 yards in the final four games of 1976 — the next two closest are from the same era, with Walter Payton getting 751 during the 1977 season and Earl Campbell getting 740 in 1980.Best four-game rushing totals in Bucs history1.
