Patriots 18th
Falcons 24th
Bills 25th
Bucs 29th
Lions 28th

Not one of those teams was ranked in the top half of the league in rushing, and not one averaged over 4 ypc. For comparison 8 of their first 11 opponents were in the top 14 of the league in rushing, and all but one averaged over 4 ypc

...and yet despite all you say, the Packers benched him and wanted nothing to do with him in 2015, cutting him for non-salary cap reasons. Followed by getting cut by another team for non-salary cap reasons one year later after doing pretty much nothing despite that team having one suspended linebacker and another signed away in FA.

It's cool if you're a Buckeye fan or whatnot.

Sidenote: Another example of why I don't blame players taking the more guaranteed money another team offers over the Bengals' "generally" letting players see the end of their contract.
