The teams at the top of the rushing standings are there just as much due to a focus on running (and dominance doing so) as it is milking a lead.

Just think of all the times teams have come out pounding us with the run (any Steelers game or playoff game comes to mind).

Yup, I recall this debate on the mother ship......I still say you gotta run the ball some, especially late in the season in inclement weather.  If you can run, you stand a better chance of winning.
