Number Two, Week 16: Chicago Bears at Washington

Howard gets skinny, and gallops through a small hole before bursting into open field. His ability to maintain his speed while he springs through the tight hole is impressive. However, it is not as impressive as his finish on this run. Howard puts his lower body into the safety. For week 16 of his rookie season, Howard does not appear to be wearing down. That, on top of everything makes this a great run. And just for good measure, here is the slow motion of Howard finishing the run off.

Number One Week Eight: Minnesota Vikings at Chicago Bears

You know the term “get skinny”? Howard applies it here as he rips off his biggest run of the season. Facing a tough defensive front, Howard is looking to get whatever he can. He sees a small crease up the gut and shoots for it. As impressive as it is for him to squeeze through the hole, it is more impressive that he was able to do it while maintaining his breakaway speed to split two defenders with ease. Howard earned every yard of this one, and it is without a doubt his best rush of the season.
