Kinda weird that rushing TDs are so much lower than any other type of TD
Generally speaking, to get a rushing TD, you'd have to get closer to the endzone, no? That would suggest more total yardage, which I'd assume correlates fairly well to wins.
Then I thought maybe it's just that a good passing game in general correlates more strongly with wins (probably because teams tend to pass for twice as much yards as they rush for) but if thats the case, I'd have expected interceptions -- being directly counter to an opponent gaining pass yards/TDs; like sacks -- would correlate more strongly with ... not losing. Which in this case would mean winning.
Interesting stuff anyway
EDIT: ah nvm. kckolbe pointed out something I completely overlooked, lol
