"If Clinton Portis left any individual-related unfinished business in Washington, it was obviously his failure to catch John Riggins atop the franchise's all-time rushing list. Had he stayed healthy, Portis would likely already have the record, but instead he leaves at No. 2. Steve Czaban asked Portis during a Wednesday ESPN 980 appearance whether that would have meant something to him.

"You know, it really would have," Portis said. "And it was something that I really felt that I would get done, and I wanted to get done. But at the same time, I think to stay in D.C. for another year to try to get that, to try to chase a record, when you look back on that, records are made to be broke. I think I'm ok with sleeping in the position that I'm in.

"I think it's a record that is hard to come by now, because I don't think people spend enough time with teams so go out and break those records these days, so it would have been great to have, but on the flip side, I think when people look back in remembrance and see me in second place, it's gonna be everything that I did give to that team, so I'm ok with it.""
