When he gets at least 20 carries he almost always has 100 yds rushing and when he has over 100 yds rushing, the Chiefs usually win. He should be getting at least 25-30 carries per game. An effective running game would not only help with time of possession, rest the defense, and limit the opponents ability to score, but it would also make the pass game more effective.
Didn't Reid promise earlier in the season that Charles would get more touches? What happened to that?
