On the other hand, in the 5 wins, Peterson averaged 22 rushes for 112 ypg. In the 3 losses, AD averaged 8 carries for 14 yards.
Seems to me that if you keep AS under 33 attempts, and get AD 20 touches, you have a pretty good formula.

Formula only works if you can open holes. Not liking our chances of doing that for the next few weeks at least.
