The Bucs have run the ball 104 times over the past two weeks. That's 52 attempts per game. On the season, the Bears lead the league in rush attempts per game at 35. Needless to say, Tampa Bay's rushing volume will crater when they face Chicago on Sunday.

Gainwell's breakout ends when Bucs face league-leading rush defense.

The Bucs have run the ball 104 times over the past two weeks (52 attempts per game), but the Bears lead the league in rush attempts per game at 35. Tampa Bay's rushing volume will crater when they face Chicago on Sunday. Gainwell had seen 14 percent of the Bucs' carries before their rushing explosion, good for 3.2 attempts per game. Unless things get weird for the third week in a row, Gainwell's breakout will be short-lived.
