One culprit of the latest tragedy was the putrid run game that first half. But before that, here are these reg season rankings.
7th attempts
23rd yds/attempt (3.9)
13th yds/game (112.8 vs. Buffalos 152.0 in 1st, Detroits 83.4 last)
28th longest run (38 yards)
Pretty underwhelming considering the two backs they had to work with. Blame the o-line, Paul, Hue,qb, Marvin, but this ended up being a weakness and it showed that first half.
Seriously, if there was one time this season we needed a good run game, it was that first half in the rain with McCarron. Yeah he didnt have a good first half, but a 4th game starter in the playoffs needed much better help out of the run game and he didnt get it. And even tho missing Hewitt was big, the line, rbs, and Hue needed to have been better.
