What do rushing attempts tell me?

Rushing attempts count recorded carries, including quarterback rushing attempts. They describe workload rather than yardage or efficiency. Compare carries with rushing yards and rushing touchdowns for the same period. These are totals, not carries per game, and do not establish how many games a player appeared in.

Equal values share a rank. INT in passing means interceptions thrown; defensive interceptions are a separate category. Sacks taken or allowed are separate from defensive sacks. Yardage columns total the supplied season/week window unless their label specifies a rate. — = not supplied.
