CINCINNATI -- Oh, Phillip Lindsay might be powering the offense on a Denver Broncos team that suddenly finds itself in the league's postseason race.
And, sure, he might be on the doorstep of a 1,000-yard rushing season, sitting at 937 yards with four games to play. He might even lead the league in yards per carry at the moment with 6.1, but Lindsay still can't get any significant couch time in the Broncos' complex.
"[The Broncos defensive line] has got this couch, and rookies aren't supposed to be on it, but I'm always on it," Lindsay said with a laugh. "They throw me off, and when they turn their back, I get back on. ... But they're not going to let me on the couch until next year."
