Multiple NFL Running Backs Find End Zone Sunday

Several NFL running backs made notable contributions in recent games and are expected to play key roles in upcoming matchups. Aaron Jones Sr. had a mixed performance with limited rushing yards but scored a touchdown through the air in the Vikings' win over the Bears, though Jordan Mason appears to be the preferred rusher. James Cook delivered a strong all-around game with a rushing touchdown and over 50 receiving yards in Buffalo's close win against Baltimore. Zach Charbonnet showed promise with increased carries and a touchdown despite the Seahawks' loss, potentially earning a larger role in early downs. Brian Thomas struggled overall but scored a touchdown on a rare carry for the Jaguars, who are adapting to a new offensive scheme. Looking ahead, the Detroit Lions plan to rely heavily on their running backs Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery in their Week 1 game against the Packers, with Montgomery expected to score based on his recent touchdown production despite sharing backfield duties with Gibbs.
