Chris Johnson Success Rate Against the Arizona Cardinals

Explanation:

Each individual rush is considered on it's own, and measured by it's "success." A run is considered successful if it gets 40% of the yardage needed to move the chains on first down, 60% of the yardage needed on second down, and 100% of the yardage needed on third or fourth down. This is a much more accurate overall picture of how well a running back does in a game than just the total yardage or ypc averages because it ignores big run outliers that can skew those kinds of stats

I have nothing to add other than it is a pleasure to watch CJ play.

You have to commend CJ for his fairness

I mean he could be 100% successful if he chose to utilize his ability to go back in time, but no, CJ doesn’t need to do that.

Good man.

Y'know, I really thought the Cardinals did a good job of bottling CJ up...

…but this kind of tells a different story. This makes it look like he more or less ran wild. Added to which, I was kind of surprised they didn’t run a Draw out of the spread on 2-and-goal at the end of game. They had enough Time Outs that they could have tried it and not lost anything.

Good point. And it’s not like an unsuccessful draw takes too much time off the clock either, if you’ve already decided to call a time out after the play. 3-4 ticks is the worst you’d see if they stuff it.
