The rushing and receiving prowess of Atlanta's running back tandem has helped make the offense the best unit since 2000, per our metrics.
With Matt Ryan playing out of his mind in what should undoubtedly be an MVP season, it’s easy to overlook how valuable the Atlanta Falcons' backfield duo has been for their prolific offense.
The dynamic combination of Devonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman was the most lethal backfield tandem in the NFL during the regular season. They averaged a league-best 168.9 combined scrimmage yards per game for a total of 2,482 yards for the year, and the twosome teamed up for 24 total touchdowns -- 13 for Freeman and 11 for Coleman -- in the regular season.
