Total number of inside runs on 1st down by game:

Indy: 9 of 32 first down plays 28%
KC: 10 of 29 first down plays 34%
Houston: 11 of 32 first down plays 34%
ATL: 11 of 26 first down plays 42%
Buf: 5 of 40 first down plays 12%

Percentages rounded down to nearest whole number. There’s something the be said based on percentages that our two best offensive games were weeks 1 and 5 and they had the lowest number on 1st down inside runs. ATL surprisingly was the highest % but we also only scored 16 offensive points.

These don’t include outside runs on 1st downs or sweeps. While I don’t think it’s quite as bad as some are saying, there are some numbers to back up the idea that fewer inside runs on 1st down is more beneficial to our offense and it shows up on the scoreboard.
