Rushing Yards YDS
Yards gained carrying the ball from scrimmage, by anyone — running back, quarterback or receiver on an end-around.
How YDS is calculated
YPC = rushing yards ÷ carries
Quarterback kneel-downs count as rushing attempts for negative yards, which is why a team’s rushing average dips slightly in games it is winning.
