What Rush Att is

Rush attempts: the number of running plays. Heavily tied to game script — teams that are ahead run the ball to shorten the game — so a high number is as likely to mean leads as a commitment to the run.

Higher is better. It is shown per game, so a team's number does not depend on games played. Source: P + N.
