When were losing in a game we pass more. When we have the lead late we tend to run 5-10 times more in a game. I think these two factors skew the stats a bit.

That. Wish I would have gotten to this topic earlier, first thing that popped into my mind is "If we're behind 2 scores we need to pass more, if we're up 2 scores we can run it all day long. This also probably means their defense is tired from us mopping the floor with their asses."

How many times have we been down by 2 scores this season?

I think it is safe to say no many times from memory.. so that kind of defeats the reason to run less correct?

So that kind of eliminates the skew the "desperate need" to pass more.. correct?

Conclusion: While we had a lot of garbage carries, it's safe to say that running early helped us out later in the game. This game supports your theory. I'll analyze more of our games later to see if they contain similar results.

I wonder if the Giants wish they would have pounded the rock a bit more in the "garbage" time against the Eagles. 🙂

In looking at the OP, here's my first observation: we were being controlled at the line of scrimmage for the majority of the sub 20-carry losses. Twice Detroit controlled Green Bay's offensive line. The Bears have an excellent run defense this year. The Falcons were blowing up RBs at or behind the line of scrimmage routinely. Green Bay should have run it more against Washington and perhaps Miami, but those other teams were just smothering the Pack's run attack.
William Henderson didn't have to run people over. His preferred method was levitation.
