That number is quite deceiving considering we've played one more game than 29 other teams.
Oh, and we average more pass attempts than any other team

But even if you factor that in we still rank 17th in runs per game.

I'm with you there Scott. I think they were dead last versus the run and we tried about 2 runs and then threw 900 times.

We did the same thing against the Bucs a few years back. They had a really bad run defense and we went down there in a monsoon and threw the ball the entire game, and lost.
