1. Teams are are behind tend to have MORE success running the ball because it's less expected. Teams that are ahead are playing to defend the big pass play. Your argument that being ahead results in a better run defense PER RUSH makes no sense.

What? Teams that are behind have to play catch up which means passing the ball. Cmon, Amno, you're smarter than that. Ive never seen football game where a team down by more than 10 starts running the ball more than passing it.
Running the ball is just one facet of the game. The Pats have had a cake schedule this year and has had the benefit of playing with big leads. Even the Seattle game, NE jumped out to a 10 point lead early and that pretty much took SA out of the game--it was 20-6 at half time.
