In the year prior, Faulk had his absolute best individual season. He again had an AV of 22, but racked up 26 total touchdowns and 2,189 yards from scrimmage.

Of those, a career-best 18 touchdowns came from the St. Louis ground game, where he averaged 5.37 yards per rush. Faulk won Offensive Player of the Year for the first time in his career, but earned his first and only MVP in the process.
