Posted by ESPN.com's Pat Yasinskas
PHOENIX -- They didn't get the NFL's MVP award (that went to Peyton Manning), but Atlanta's Michael Turner and Carolina's DeAngelo Williams might have been the league's best running backs.

They trailed only Minnesota's Adrian Peterson, who had 10. Tampa Bay's Earnest Graham and Carolina's Jonathan Stewart also had two 100-yard games each.
