Michel rushed the ball 27 times for 131 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 30-23 win over the Vikings. He added one reception for four yards.
Michel dominated touches out of the Rams' backfield to begin the game, but his role as the top back was cemented when Darrell Henderson was ruled out with a knee injury. As a result, Michel earned a season-high 27 carries and racked up 135 total yards. He tallied four carries of 10 yards or more and also plunged into the end zone from one yard away to open the scoring. Michel has earned at least 20 total touches in each of his last four games and appears destined for lead-back duties once again in Week 17 against Baltimore.
