Associated Press

TEMPE, Ariz. – Arizona running back Emmitt Smith waved to the crowd Sunday as he walked off the field for what might be the final time.

“I tell you, if this is my last year of playing football, it’s been a heck of a ride,” he said.

Smith finished with 937 yards in 267 attempts, narrowly missing his 12th 1,000-yard season. No one else has more than 10. He scored nine TDs to boost his NFL career record to 164. His two 100-yard rushing games this season gave him an NFL career record of 78. Smith’s career record for yards rushing stands at 18,355. He also holds the record for most games played by a running back at 226.
