Only 7 thousand yard rushers in the 2015 season. Disappointing.

A lot of injuries this year for running backs. 5 of the top 6 rushers in 2014 missed significant time this year, with LeSean McCoy missing 4 games, Le'Veon Bell missing 10 games (2 due to suspension), Marshawn Lynch missing 9 games, Justin Forsett missing 6 games, and Arian Foster missing 12 games. DeMarco Murray was the only 1 of the top 6 that didn't suffer a serious injury.

if the Chargers and Raiders both move to LA, Mark Davis has already stated that he's volunteering to switch with someone in the NFC West (you know Al would be pissed). Who moves to the AFC? Does Seattle go back?

AFC West
Denver
Seattle
Kansas City
LA Chargers

NFC West
LA Raiders
San Francisco
Arizona
St Louis

I'd prefer St. Louis

Rams also filed to move to LA.

isn't it one of the other though? The Rams want to be in downtown LA and the Chargers and Raiders are splitting costs for Carson, CA. If the Rams move then nobody has to switch and the NFC West travel schedule gets easier.

It's not totally an either-or. The Rams have made it known they'd be willing to share the stadium at the Inglewood site with the Chargers, although the Chargers haven't shown much interest in that because they'd just be a tenant at the stadium and not share ownership of the stadium.

interesting thanks. I don't care which team moves but I would like to see a team in LA.

Of the available teams, I'd like to see the Rams move back to LA if a move is indeed happening. It's clear the fans in OAK and SD love having their teams there (and they were both there originally). STL seems to care far more for baseball than they do NFL football.

I'm still going to stay with my Eagles they took too long to bring a team to L.A. I know it's not official yet but it looks like it will

Ironic that the guy who was being run into the ground escaped a major injury.

This is the first time I can recall 3 of the 4 home teams being underdogs in the Wild Card round. The only home team favored in Washington, and by only 1 point.

KC favored over Houston by 3.5
Pittsburgh favored over Cincinnati by 2.5
Seattle favored over Minnesota by 5.5
Washington favored over Green Bay by 1

Surprising Ivory won the AFC rushing title given how much his production dropped off towards the end of the year.

Jonathan Stewart was 11 yards away before missing the last 3 games of the year.

I looked up the historical average rushing yards per team per game for past years. Here's the results.

2015 - 108.8 YPG
2014 - 111.3
2000 - 112.6
1985 - 124.9
1980 - 127.5
1975 - 145.5

For the same years here's the average passing yards per game per team:

2015 - 243.8 YPG
2014 - 236.8
2000 - 206.9
1985 - 204.5
1980 - 162.8
1975 - 161.4

Rushing numbers have been on a consistent decline since around the mid-1970's with passing numbers soaring to record highs. That's the NFL we have. Running backs matter less than ever before.

I remember when a 90 QB rating was considered outstanding. Today it's not even enough to keep a starting QB job for some players.

I need STL to stay next year so I can see a Falcons road game.

Jason Garrett a .500 coach once again. 3 8-8 seasons, a 12-4 season, and now 4-12 to bring him back to mediocrity.

41-41, the perfect record for one of the worst head coaches in the NFL.
