Saints record when the run 30+ times per game: 42-4


I have a question about this stat

Are we winning because we ran the ball or are we running the ball cause we are winning?

Both, actually.

Being able to run the ball opens up the passing game, which is basically unfair with Brees at QB.
This lets Brees crank it up and get some points, and the Saints get ahead.
Then, with a lead, being able to run the ball finishes the deal.
