O.J. Simpson Makes American Football History
How his record-breaking 1973 season with the Buffalo Bills made O.J. Simpson a superstar.
In 1973, O.J. Simpson made American Football history by becoming the first running back to break the seemingly impossible barrier of rushing for 2000 yards in a single season. The record made Simpson a superstar, although it was later overshadowed by off-field scandal. Simon Watts talks to O.J.'s team-mate at the Buffalo Bills, Reggie Mckenzie.
