According to Pro Football Focus, an organization which dotes over every play and keeps track of the numbers hidden therein, Miami Dolphins running back Jay Ajayi led the NFL this season in yards per carry after contact at 3.5 and broken tackles at 58.

And most of that began in the Dolphins' Week Six, 30-15 upset of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The teams meet again in an AFC wild-card game on Sunday at Heinz Field, and the Steelers, of course, are looking for a way to prevent Ajayi from breaking tackles and rushing for the 204 yards that he did back then.
