My comment still stands using Rushing Yards Per Game, you are more likely to have more rushing yards if you rush more, you tend to rush more when you are winning. You saying they were able to run successfully is a bit misleading as well as yards per game is not indicative of success, yards per attempt is more relative to success as I can run 50 times for 2 yards a carry, but running 20 times for 5 yards a carry was much more successful.

Actually, it is.  I understand what you are saying about YPC, but you could also argue that you only rushed it two times for 50 yards and you would be ranked very high in terms of YPC, but only 50 yards.  Your example is only relevant because the total yardage was the same.   Total yards shows success, in total, in a game.  And I just found it very indicative of playoff attendance.
