This is true, but there is no direct correlation that running the ball less than 15 times was the reason for the loss. Did they lose those 42 games because they didn't run the ball more than 15 times or did they run the ball less than 15 times because they couldn't sustain drives and thus lost the game?

That's exactly the false narrative that I was talking about earlier. According to Pat Kirwan and Jim Miller on NFL Radio, as I pointed previously, it isn't a lack of attempts to run the ball that leads to a loss, it is the inability to run the ball successfully and to extend drives that limits the chances to run the ball.

The Saints have lost 395 games when they DID run the ball 15 or more times. Let that sink in.
