Then they can't establish the run at all vs. San Diego, Sproles runs wild on them, and poof. Bye bye win streak, bye bye playoffs.

In the meantime, the Giants, Steelers, Ravens, Titans, and Panthers - all stud running teams with good defenses- are the class of the league.

We have to get bigger/more physical up front, especially on offense.

The colts have not been good at the run all year so it was no shock to see it happen on the road in the playoffs.

Dallas has a very good running game but can not stay healthy and the QB turns the ball over way toooo much so that kills them. The defense is decent but gives up big plays to running backs catching or running the ball.
