Splits backfield workload Michel rushed 13 times for 58 yards in Monday night's 34-11 wild-card round win over the Cardinals. Impact Michel ripped off a 35-yard run on Los Angeles' first offensive play, setting the tone for a dominating performance from the Rams. Overall though, Michel didn't get much going with his other handoffs. While he still led the team in rushing yards, Cam Akers topped him with 17 carries, gaining 55 yards. Akers also caught a 40-yard pass from Odell Beckham, putting together a more complete performance than Michel. With the Rams comfortable rotating between Michel and Akers, however, look for both to remain consistently involved versus the Buccaneers in Sunday's NFC divisional-round game.
