Mo "MohMotion" Mbengue completed two 72 ounce steak challenges at The Big Texan in 1:12. I think the only other people to complete multiple challenges at that Amarillo, TX restaurant are Molly Schuyler, Miki Sudo and pro wrestler Klondike Bill in 1963.

Baltimore Ravens center Bradley Bozeman completed the Big Texan 72 ounce steak in about 50 minutes, which I think makes him the second active NFL player to have completed the Amarillo, TX challenge after Dolphins QB Ryan Fitzpatrick. The stop was part of a 6 week cross-country tour to promote anti-bullying efforts.

update April 20
The times for all three challenges were 4:18, 7:29 and 8:13. All three times broke Joey Chestnut’s previous record of 8:52. Her times from 2014 (4:58 & 9:59) giver her 5 of the 7 sub 10-minute finishes. Former MLB pitcher Frank Pastore (RIP) has the other (9:30 from 1987)
This morning, Molly ate a 9.5 burrito on Kiss FM to giver her a total of over 22 pounds of food consumed in 15 hour (before | after | video )
Rich and Carlene LeFevre did not compete against Molly despite being mentioned as a competing team.
