NFL playoffs

Rawls, Bell run wild on wild-card weekend

Playoffs are underway. While passing has been on the rise, especially in recent years, it has so far been a good week for running games. In two of the first three games, the winning team put a running back over 160 yards. (And in Houston, Lamar Miller carried it 31 times.)

In this century, only five other players have run for over 160 yards in playoff games. That includes Colin Kaepernick, when the 49ers were befuddling the Packers with the read-option in 2012.
