Derrius Guice had a monster performance for the Washington Redskins on Sunday, and he is one of the main reasons for the team’s second-straight victory, a 29-21 win over the Carolina Panthers.
Guice finished the game with 129 yards rushing and 2 touchdowns on just 10 carries, giving him an average of 12.9 yards per carry. He is just the fourth RB in NFL history to run for more than 125 yards with two TDs on 10 or fewer carries since 1948.
The keys haven’t been handed off to Guice completely as of yet, as veteran RB Adrian Peterson is still finding great success in the backfield as well — AP ran for 99 yards in the victory — but this type of game is one that will go a long way for coaches.
Don’t be surprised to see Guice named as the starting RB in Washington from here-on out.
