What does Portis dropping a pass, or muffing a handoff have to do with Betts being unable to get into the endzone, or tripping over his one lineman with the game on the line? Of course those plays hurt(like several others from several other players), but the point is, Portis finds the endzone, and Betts doesn't.

Betts runs well when there's a hole. If there's no hole for him to run through, he's ineffective. Portis can at least attempt to make something out of nothing, which is a skill the Betts completely lacks.
