The Facts:
Dayne was injured on the first play of the second quarter when linebacker Gary Brackett hit him helmet-first on his right ankle. He sat out the rest of the series to get his ankle taped, something he said he'd never done in a game, and returned to carry the ball 20 more times.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
"It was real sore," Dayne said. "I just kept going out there and every time I'd run and somebody might fall on it, I would come out. Then I would just go back out there even without them telling me to. I just wasn't going to be denied today. ..." Apparently not. It was the first time Dayne, released by both the Giants and Broncos before landing in Houston, gained 100 yards since September 2001 with New York.
