But here, let me make it clear:
In the second quarter, Benson got the ball 4 of 7 plays. 2, 10, 9, 2 yards. That's just under 6 a carry. He got 2 carries on two other series, one a touchdown drive.

Forgot about that fourth quarter drive where he picked up 3 and 0 on consecutive carries?
So, you're cherry-picking a player's best series of the season as evidence that he's better than another? Hell, Jones got more on that one second quarter carry tonight than in that entire drive you're using as evidence of Benson's superiority.
It's very simple -- when Jones (or Benson, or any other NFL running back) gets holes, they pick up yardage. When they don't get holes, they don't pick up yardage (unless they're Barry Sanders). That's showing tonight.
