Though Justin Forsett did not get off to good start in this one, he broke off some late runs that helped his total for the game. He carried the ball 17 times for 119 yards, which averages 7 yards per carry. The numbers lie a little there, but he did produce some big runs late in the game.
Other than him, only eight carries were given to running backs. Bernard Pierce carried the ball six times for eight yards, and undrafted rookie Fitzgerald Toussaint carried it twice for one yard.
Forsett has finished the season rushing for 1,266 yards and eight touchdowns. Those are both more than double his previous career-highs. The seven-year veteran also led all running backs in yards per carry, averaging 5.4-yards per attempt.
Grade: B+
