In 2019, Gurley accounted for the majority (55.6%) of the Rams brings (223 of 401). The Rams are one of 2 groups to have 3 different running backs record 25-plus carries on the season.
But what do you get if you have 2020 Darrell Henderson, Malcolm Brown and Cam Akers? How about the franchises finest rushing yards-per-game mark (139.6) considering that 1987 (when they balanced 139.8)? That is a 45.9-yard improvement from what the 2019 team (93.7) managed in Gurleys last year with Los Angeles, for those scoring in your home.
The Rams rode Todd Gurley to a Super Bowl look under Sean McVay, so that formula clearly works– as long as you have 2018 Todd Gurley.
Why is this all so crucial? Because 2017, when the Rams rush for 110-plus yards in a video game, they are 26-1, with the only loss being available in Week 3 of this season versus the Bills, when they fell 3 points brief of their greatest comeback in team history. When the Rams rush for less than 110 lawns, that record drops to simply 11-15.
