The Unexpected Power Shift: How the Ground Game is Quietly Dominating This NFL Playoff Season
This shouldn’t have been a surprise, though, considering the top-four teams in run success rate during the regular season also all won their first-round games – the Baltimore Ravens, Buffalo Bills, Commanders and Rams. The Philadelphia Eagles, who finished sixth behind the Detroit Lions, also won.
The Ravens, Bills, Commanders and Eagles also all finished better than the NFL average in yards before contact, meaning the threat of their quarterback running the ball, their scheme and/or their respective offensive lines set each running game up for success.
