Running Back Trivia

Was comparing running backs online for no good reason and noticed this:

Of the top 50 all-time rushers by yardage (active players included) only 6 have averaged 4.7 or more yards per carry over the course of their careers.

Name them. I will post the answer by 7:00pm today (Friday) if the correct answer is not given before then.

Ah. Very good! Here's another:

This will be the first Super Bowl in several years between two teams that both existed before 1960. When was the last time this happened and who were the two teams?
