From the article

Nichols just keeps on trucking. He led the team in rushing with 87 yards on 20 attempts – good for a 4.35 average. He also scored a touchdown and probably should have had another if he kept his balance on a great run in their first contest against the Packers. He isn't going to necessarily be the belle of any ball, but he deserves some recognition, and possibly a roster spot, for his consistency and relentless approach.
