Ravens RB J.K. Dobbins nicknames himself since return from injury

The Ravens have been running wild on their way to 10-5, and RB J.K. Dobbins has played a large role in the team's success since returning from injury in Week 14.

The former second-round pick has given himself a new nickname in light of his recent play.

"J.K. 'El Toro' Dobbins," the third-year running back told reporters. "We're going to make that a nickname for good."

Dobbins has been one of the top running backs in the league since recovering from his knee injury and looks as explosive as ever.

However, he knows he couldn't have the stat line he has without his offensive line.

"I trust in those guys. I know that they're playing for me, and I play for them. So, it just makes us that much better," Dobbins said. "They've been doing an outstanding job ... I don't have any of those numbers without them."

Baltimore still has a shot at the AFC North title as they host the Steelers (7-8) in Week 17 and then face the Bengals to close out the season.

If 'El Toro' can continue having the success he's had on the ground, the Ravens might just be on their way to an AFC North title.
