Seattle entered Week 10 with the NFL's best rushing attack by DVOA, and that was before their 350-yard outburst against the Giants. Their rushing offense DVOA is now a stratospheric 37.2%. That is so far ahead of everyone else this season it's hard to make a comparison. The second-ranked rushing team, New Orleans, has a DVOA of just 12.3%. That's closer to 23rd-ranked Jacksonville (-12.5%) than it is to Seattle. In fact, if Seattle can maintain that level (which of course would be very hard to do), they would finish as the top rushing offense in DVOA history, beating out the 36.5% of Marshall Faulk's 2000 Rams.

The writer also makes a statistical case that Lynch should at least be considered as an MVP candidate in 2014. In addition to his excellence on the ground, he also leads all Seahawks pass catchers in DYAR (!).
DeMarco Murray leads the NFL in rushing DYAR of course, but Lynch has become a close second. In third place? None other than Russell Wilson.
