ImNotSoIgnorant Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 I realize Chris Johnson's been doing well, but i'm curious. Anyone who watched the game and can tell me why Chris Johnson got 25 carries despite not doing much with them and Ellington besides his 48 yard run still averaged a bit over 4 yards a carry?

Chloroform Rx Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 For starters, they were facing the No. 1 rushing defense in the NFL. Second, Ellington plays on obvious passing downs, while Johnson plays on first and second downs. The coverage each one sees in those scenarios is significantly different. Ellington see's more holes with the defense playing back a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
