The all-time leading rusher in 49ers history continued to move up the NFL's charts on Sunday.

Frank Gore, in his second season with the Indianapolis Colts, on Sunday passed Marcus Allen, Edgerrin James and Marshall Faulk to move into the 10th spot in all-time rushing yards.

Allen and Faulk are in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Allen played the first 11 seasons of his 16-year career with the Los Angeles Raiders.

Gore rushed for 68 yards and a touchdown on 16 rushing attempts in the Colts' 30-27 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday in London.

Gore is just 19 yards behind Hall of Famer Jim Brown for No. 9 on the NFL's all-time rushing list.
