RB Index: Ranking all 75 starting running backs from the 2022 NFL season (18.  Jamaal Williams (2022 stats: 17 games | 262 att | 1,066 rush yds | 4.1 ypc | 17 rush TDs | 12 rec | 73 rec yds | 0 rec TDs | 2 fumbles lost):  Williams' larger-than-life personality and determination were big storylines in HBO's Hard Knocks last preseason, but who could have anticipated that he'd lead the NFL in rushing touchdowns this season? He had four more than the next-closest players (Derrick Henry, Austin Ekeler and Jalen Hurts). You have to give offensive coordinator Ben Johnson credit for feeding Williams the rock at the goal line. Don't be the least bit surprised when Detroit re-signs him this offseason.  34.  D'Andre Swift (2022 stats: 14 games | 99 att | 542 rush yds | 5.5 ypc | 5 rush TDs | 48 rec | 389 rec yds | 3 rec TDs | 0 fumbles lost):  His season started off so well with 50-yard runs in consecutive weeks. Then the injury bug struck. Swift still has all of the traits to become a top-tier running back, but he needs better health luck. Next year, the final of his rookie deal, will be a make-or-break season in Detroit.):  https://www.nfl.com/news/rb-index-ranking-all-75-starting-running-backs-from-the-2022-nfl-season

NFL coaches whose personalities best match their cities: Where do Super Bowl LVII opponents rank? (2.   Dan Campbell - Detroit Lions.  I mean, this one is super obvious. And I'll come right out and say it: I love what Campbell did this season. Hell, I'm jealous, as a Bears fan. Outside of winning a Super Bowl, the dream of NFC North teams is to get one over on Aaron Rodgers and knock the Packers out of contention. Which is exactly what the Lions did. In a game that didn't even matter to Detroit, which had already been eliminated. And excelling in games that don't matter is what the Lions are all about. Just kidding! (Cheap shot, cheap shot.)   I know it's cliché at this point, but I can't think of a coach who is better suited for Detroit than Dan Campbell. He's got that mentality that's perfect for the city. I love Detroit. It's always had an edge. And when I was growing up, I hated the Detroit Pistons. Campbell can be that guy in a football sense. We all love the Lions because of Campbell and what we saw on Hard Knocks. In fact, we're getting close to where we are going to turn on him, because the Lions could end up being one of those bully teams in the NFL, just like the old-school Pistons.):  https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-coaches-whose-personalities-best-match-their-cities-where-do-super-bowl-lvii
