I understand that it’s a passing league. I understand the speed of the game has increased to the point where the running back position may be losing some value.
But more and more people need to realize that a consistent and efficient run game still stands as a significant key to a successful and creative offense, an advantage some teams hold over others.
Of the top 10 rushing teams in the league, seven enter Week 5 with winning records, proving that running the football isn’t as irrelevant as some may believe.
But nowhere near that top 10 list is the New York Giants, sitting as the second-worst rushing team in the league with an average of 76.
