Gus Edwards Runs For 40 Yards In Playoff Win
10 months agoBaltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards rushed 10 times for 40 yards in the team's 34-10 victory over the Houston Texans in the Divisional Round. Despite the Ravens establishing an early lead in the second half and maintaining control, teammate Justice Hill led the backfield in touches. Edwards left the game in the second half due to injury and did not return, but Coach John Harbaugh said he is okay. Both running backs averaged at least four yards per carry, highlighting an unstoppable rushing attack in the second half while the Texans struggled to contain them. The Ravens are poised to host the AFC Championship in the next game against either the Chiefs or Bills, both of whom rank below league average in DVOA against the run. Both potential opponents limited points to running backs this year, and evaluating the Ravens' backfield remains challenging due to the committee approach and a quarterback who serves as the primary threat in the rushing attack.
