The Unexpected Power Shift: How the Ground Game is Quietly Dominating This NFL Playoff Season
James Cook, who capped off his second consecutive 1,000-yard regular season with the Bills, finished the year in the top 10 in yards per carry and and yards before contact. He dominated the Broncos with 120 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries.
Basically, if you had a top-10 running back from the 2024 season in the playoffs, you had a pretty good chance of winning.
The only big exceptions were Josh Jacobs and Bucky Irving. Both were great during the regular season and solid in the playoffs, but weren’t on the winning sides of a litany of reasons not related to themselves.
