Caption: FAULK FIRST TO FOUR STRAIGHT: St. Louis Rams Marshall Faulk and team owner Georgia Frontiere celebrate after Faulk recorded his fourth straight 2,000-yard season, becoming the first player in NFL history to accomplish this feat. Faulk, a running back, had 226 total yards during the Rams last regular-season game against the Atlanta Falcons in St. Louis. Entering the game, only Faulk and the legendary Jim Brown had compiled three straight 2,000-yard seasons from scrimmage. Faulk, who is the same age as his jersey number 28, made his unprecedented mark with a 21-yard catch in the second quarter and finished for a total of 2,147. "I go out there and I play as hard as I can, and I try to make every play work," said Faulk, who was named the league's MVP last year. "What I've done the last four years is a result of it."
