The plight of Reggie Bush's lost season with the Bills will live on in the NFL record books.
Appearing in 12 games, the 2005 Heisman winner (an honor he later relinquished) and 2006 No. 2 overall draft pick finished 2016 with a grand total of -3 rushing yards, the fewest by a non-quarterback who logged more than 10 carries in a season since the AFL-NFL merger in 1970. In fact he's the first running back ever to finish in the red in the modern era under those modifiers.
The last player, excluding quarterbacks, to finish in negative yardage on at least 10 rushes was Bears fullback John Adams in 1961, according to Pro Football Reference. Only five others have done so; all played in the first half of the 20th century.

Bush's fate was sealed Sunday when he failed to register a carry in Buffalo's 30-10 loss to the Jets.
Bills starting running back LeSean McCoy exited the game in the first half and still Bush didn't see the field.
Interim coach Anthony Lynn, having said earlier this week he would "would love to get (Bush) a couple carries" to get him off the snide, opted instead to split the workload between Mike Gillislee, rookie Jonathan Williams and fullback Jerome Felton as the Bills played from behind.

Bush's 12 carries this season went for -3, 5, -6, 3, 1, 5, 1, 2, -10, 3, 4 and -8 yards.
After the game, as social media marveled at Bush's upside-down accomplishment, former Saints safety Steve Gleason swooped in for the win.

Cut Bush a little slack. He was somewhat useful in the passing game, with 90 receiving yards on seven catches.
