Both teams had great quarterbacks, Staubach could have easily put the ball in the air 40 times a game and still won it, but when you run the ball, it takes the pressure off the quarterback to win the game, balancing the attack, that's why running the ball is so important. Last year the Saints lost to Seattle in the playoffs, Reggie Bush barely got 50 yards rushing, while Brees had over 400 yards passing.They had over 450 total yards on offense, and 400 were from Brees alone. When you run the ball, the offense is easier. I don't know what happened to us rushing over 100 a week, now we're barely capable of doing it. Also, when we ran the ball well, Rodgers play action was very impressive (Atlanta game)</blockquote>
