3. Revising list of Jamaal Charles' best games

By Adam Teicher - ESPN.com

"In case you missed it, during the bye week I issued my list of Jamaal Charles' best five games for the Kansas City Chiefs. I didn't go with the best statistical games necessarily, though naturally some of them are going to be on the list. The only requirement I had was that the Chiefs had to win the game for it to make the list. I wasn't going to list a game that the Chiefs lost.

Now, after Charles broke Priest Holmes' record for career rushing yardage for the Chiefs, I have to add this game to my list in the No. 5 spot. The Chiefs beat the Chargers 23-20 on Sunday in San Diego and the play on which Charles broke the record really captured the essence of the kind of player Charles is. " READ MORE…

"Less than a week ago, St. Louis Rams offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer seemed to finally shed some light on what the Rams' "plan" for deploying their running backs really is.

Schottenheimer said the team would divvy up carries between running backs Zac Stacy, Benjamin Cunningham, Tre Mason and Trey Watts, with carries for receiver Tavon Austin sprinkled in. From there, the Rams would go with the hot hand late in the game. " READ MORE…
