60 yards came on one run and CC never has huge gainers. more of an anomaly.

It is what it is and you can't take away runs, but other than that TB bottled up the run game really well.

Probably credit that run to Wilson to Lockett, WIlson to Metcalf.

Ok

So change the 60 yards for a 15 yards gain ( CB failed tackle). Will be a 100 yards running game. Also much better

I really think TB's run defense is a bit of an over-inflated stat-not to say it isn't good but I really don't think it is as good as it's advertised, because I think most teams get in a bit of a shoot out with TB since they do have a decent passing attack which has the other team follow suite which in turn has them abandon the run. The Seahawks were really no different yesterday because they were doing what every other team does, take advantage of their bad secondary.

MVP Candidate Christian McCaffery 22 rushes for 31 yards...

MVP Candidate Christian McCaffery 16 rushes for 37 yards..

Are those 2 games an anomaly?
