Broken tackles: running backs ranked

Tackles he breaks per 100 carries, as charted by Pro Football Reference.

Why the box score misses it: A broken tackle is not recorded anywhere in the box score.

Best so far: Kaleb Johnson (GB), 20.0 per 100. A typical running back is 5.6 per 100. Players need at least 20 carries to qualify, so nobody is ranked on a handful of plays.

How to read this table

The number on the left is the league rank among running backs, even when the list is filtered to one team.
“Against the league” draws each player on the same strip: the ends are the 10th-best and 90th-best player, the shaded stretch is the middle half, and the tick is the median. Right is always better.
“Lately” is the change in grade between a player's last 2 games and the games before them. The tag says whether the change is bigger than what a few plays could cause.
Tick “Show the box score” to put the traditional totals next to the advanced number and sort by either.
