The Patriots did pretty well during last year's playoffs while focusing on running the ball... (I'm also pretty sure "DC" Mike Zimmer focuses on stopping the pass, but whatever.)
NFL coaching when done right is all about scheming a 1v1 mismatch (or a hole in coverage) somewhere & then exploiting it. Sometime it involves a quick player, sometimes it involves power, sometimes if you have a guy like Dalvin Cook it's just getting him into any 1v1 matchup in space.
