Going above 5.0 is the most rarefied air a running back can reach. For Charles to close out his fifth NFL season while carrying a 5.8-yard career average is remarkable."

It's pretty remarkable, but I'll bet Charles has half the carries those guys had their first 5 seasons. Charles didn't even play much his rookie year. Charles avg would decrease if he got 350 plus carries a year. Charles has never had a 300 carry year yet.

One of the best plays Matt has ever made.
