A team that runs 50% of the time is balanced in terms of their play selection but they are unbalanced in terms of the type of team they are.
So there are apples and there are oranges. Are we a rushing-oriented team? Yes. We run for a higher percentage of our plays than any team except for the Broncos last year and the Broncos were an anomaly.

Like I said, you need to look at these numbers (the real ones after adjusting all the different situations) for all the teams
in the first half to see whether they are RUN-first team or PASS-first team, or somewhere in between.
Other situations may include:
A run called back due to a some sort of penalties like holding.
A pass called back due to defensive holding or PI or some sort of other penalties.
