Patriots lead the way in NFL when RB rushes for ≥ 70 yds since 2007

When it comes to the New England Patriots, nobody ever wants to discuss the running game. Why? I don't know.

However, if you want to guarantee a win just have a Patriot running back rush for more than 70 yards in a game. When that happens the Patriots are (70-3, .939). Think about that.

So the naysayers will say that is probably typical in the NFL. You rush the ball well you will win. True, but the league average is (.659) not the gaudy (.939) of the Patriots.

Here are the NFL numbers since 2007.
