Qwijib0: Apr 10, 2007; Who needs on-field skills when you can dance like this?; Fun Shoe

It's time again to celebrate that most important part of Football-- yards on the ground, and award some team a meaningless weekly title.

Cam will probably die if he keeps that pace up, which they'll need to have, because your QB rushing for 75 yards as 5 other guys run for 25 each is probably not sustainable.

Rams deserve credit for getting to 153 yards and 5th on the list while averaging 3.8 yards per carry. That's bullheaded dedication to the run. And that 3.8 is actually inflated by a Robert Woods reverse that went for 14, Cam Akers averaged 2.8 yards on 14 carries.

So yeah, I'll vote Rams. For the run giveth and the run taketh away, but the true believer who has faith will be welcomed into the kingdom of heaven

Voting Pittsburgh for three reasons:

1) Were bottom-5 last year but rebounded in Week 1 this year;

2) Starting RB went out with injury and backup stepped up admirably;

3) Every time the Steelers run it must make Ben seethe, and I approve.

https://twitter.com/Raiders/status/1308259058122592256?s=20

One thing I�m wondering about (or forgot since last season), how does the thread feel about passing TDs that were predicated on establishing the run? The Raiders had two of those last night near the goal line. Cowardly abandonment of the run, or just taking full advantage of the offensive opportunities when the run has been established?
