it was the fullback Joe Dawkins who had 106 yards rushing by halftime in a 1973 game against the New York Jets in Shea Stadium.

Joe Dawkins played seven NFL seasons with three teams during the 70s. His best season was 1973 when he had 706 yards rushing and another 329 yards receiving for the Broncos.

He was traded prior to the following season to the New York Giants for a future draft pick.
