Poll of the Day: Which RB will have more yards from scrimmage: Ray Rice or Arian Foster?
Over the past two seasons, the two running backs with the most yards from scrimmage will meet in Baltimore this weekend: Houston's Arian Foster (4,061) and Baltimore's Ray Rice (3,844).
Foster led the NFL in rushing (1,616 yards) and YFS (2,220) last year while Rice led the NFL in YFS (2,068) even though Jacksonville's Maurice Jones-Drew led the league in rushing (1,606 yards) in 2011.
Earlier in the season when these two teams met, Rice rushed for 101 yards on 23 carries and added five receptions for 60 yards. For the Texans, Foster had only 49 rushing yards and 52 receiving yards on six receptions.
Although he was inactive for Week 17, Foster has three straight 100-yard games in which he has played including 153 rushing yards against the Bengals on Saturday. Since Week 7, Foster has rushed for 100-plus yards seven times and finished with 100-plus receiving yards twice in 10 games. He has also scored 13 touchdowns during that span.
In Rice's last game (also against the Bengals), he finished with 191 rushing yards and eight receiving yards. Rice has more than 100 YFS in five straight games and has two games with 190-plus rushing yards since Week 13.
