RBs Could Take Center Stage Sunday

Sunday's game at Raymond James Stadium will feature two of the top 12 rushers in the NFL through the first quarter of the season. Doug Martin, who has been one of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' most consistent performers during an inconsistent team start, is tied for eighth in the league with 282 yards. Not far behind is the Jacksonville Jaguars' rookie back, T.J. Yeldon, who is 12th with 259 yards.

Perhaps the more significant number for Yeldon, however, is 70. That's his number of carries through four games – or close to 18 per game – and only Minnesota's Adrian Peterson and Chicago's Matt Forte have more.
