The Unexpected Power Shift: How the Ground Game is Quietly Dominating This NFL Playoff Season
Quality Run Blocking
Good running backs and the threat of a running QB can only take a team so far. You need good blocking to open the running lanes and keep the offense flowing at the right pace.
Oddly enough, not every winning team had good run blocking during the regular season. But that’s the beauty of how this all works. You don’t need to check off every box to have a good rush attack. And having a good run-blocking offensive line certainly didn’t hurt.
For instance, the Bills ranked 32nd in run blocking but because of the threat of Allen and Cook’s emergence as an elite running back, their ground game was fine.
