– A Week of Rushing Anomalies
KC out rushed Houston 168 yds to 76 yds.
The Lions out rushed Philly 77 yds to 59 yds.
The Bears out rushed the Vikings 146 yds to 93 yds.
The Chargers out rushed the Broncos 87 yds to 37 yds.
Yet the Chiefs, Lions, Bears and Chargers all lost.
– Running Back Tandems
Before the season started it was widely assumed that the Buffalo Bills and the St. Louis Rams would have two of the best RB tandems in the NFL.
Through three games Buffalo is ranked 29th (162 yds) in rushing yardage; St. Louis is ranked 26th (284 yds).
Buffalo looks hopeless, rushing for just 2.9 yds per carry (31st).
But St. Louis has some hope, averaging 4.7 yds per carry (7th). With things seeming to go so smoothly in the running game it seems self-defeating to have abandoned the run the way the Rams have.
