The 6'1", 217-pound running back/fullback held the Colts single-game rushing record, 198 yards against the New York Jets on September 19, 1971, until the 2000 season when Edgerrin James broke the record by rushing for 219 yards.[2][3] Later in that 1971 season, Bulaich was named to the AFCPro Bowl squad. He was also featured on the cover of the November 8, 1971 issue of Sports Illustrated.[1] He was traded from the Colts to the Philadelphia Eagles for a 1973 fourth-round selection (83rd overall–Kansas defensive end Gery Palmer) and a 1974 second-round pick (37th overall–Ed Shuttlesworth) on January 29, 1973.[4][5]
In 120 career games with the Colts (1970–72), Eagles (1973–74) and Miami Dolphins (1975–79), Bulaich rushed for 3,362 yards and 30 touchdowns with a 4.1 rushing average. He also made 224 receptions for 1,766 yards and 11 touchdowns.
