Martin vs. Freeman: May the Best Back Win

Fans of the running game, turn your eyes to Atlanta this weekend.

Sunday's game at the Georgia Dome between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Atlanta Falcons will feature two of the league's three leading rushers and perhaps the two hottest rushing attacks in the NFL. The Buccaneers' Doug Martin is running with the tackle-breaking abandon that made him a Pro Bowler as a rookie in 2012. The Falcons' Devonta Freeman is smack dab in the middle of his NFL emergence and finding the end zone seemingly every Sunday.

The last five NFL seasons have been the five most prolific passing campaigns in league history, almost in a linear progression (just swap 2013, the best ever, with 2014, the second-best).
