Aug. 25—STARKVILLE — The Kansas City Chiefs ranked 23rd in the NFL in rushing when they won the Super Bowl in 2020. When the New England Patriots won the year before, they ranked just eight spots higher.
That's not to say the run game has completely lost its value in modern football, but it's a glimpse into the way the game has changed.
Mike Leach and his Air Raid offense have played a big part in this change, but he'll be the first to tell you this: there's room in his offense for running backs.
