Upon watching both Wilcard games yesterday, what stuck out like a sore thumb to me was how both winning teams ( Rams and Falcons ) used a HEAVY dose of the running game in the second half to wear down their opponent.
We keep hearing all the time how its now a passing league but yesterday was proof that come crunch time, a good running game can be effective in decimating the defence. Atlanta had an 8 minute drive coming out of halftime. Rams dominated the 3rd quarter in the Chiefs game and iced the game with a 14 yard run when KC knew the run was coming.
Hard to believe that with a player like McCoy who doesn't bruise opponents and on a bad ankle will be able to do this. I believe in Miracles, Go Bills!
