The Rams' rushing stats thus far don't look very strong (87 yards/game, 3.4 yards per attempt), but I've noticed an interesting exception: 4th Quarter rushing success.
In "pure" running plays (handoffs to running backs) here are the Rams 4th Quarter numbers:
Week 1: 11 carries, 62 yards
Week 2: 10 carries, 44 yards
If this proves to be an ongoing trend, its a good one. The ability to use the running game as a "closer" in the fourth quarter can be very valuable. Top opposing QBs can't beat you with heroics if they can't get on the field.
Hopefully, this will continue.
