14 rushing attempts
38 passing attempts

Falcons averaged 6.9 yards per rush. I don't understand why they abandoned this.

The avg is a bit skewed because of that one long run. They weren't having that much success on the ground throughout the game

The middle of their D-like has usually been solid and that continued today. I think Payton will figure out something different because the only real success we had were those sort of draw runs off the pass. I look for us to adjust to more like that than just going traditional I...because that hasn't been working

Jackson had 77 yards on 11 carries.

One run was for 50.

Outside of that, he had 10 carries for a 2.7 average which is dog shite.

THAT's why they gave up on the rushing.

You have to take out the big rush to find a true average. They were not getting 7 yards every time.

That said, I do think they were doing well enough and they should have stayed with it.

A number greatly skewed by Jackson's 50 yard run. You can't take that out of the stats but their other 13 runs only averaged 3.4 ypc.
