News: Hillis had a monster game in Sunday's 24-17 loss at Baltimore, running for 144 yards with a touchdown and adding seven receptions for 36 yards.
Spin: Hillis was filling in for an injured Jerome Harrison and while Hillis has run well this season, no one could have predicted this type of game against a stingy Ravens' defense. Hillis ran hard, as usual, but also showed that he can make big plays, ripping off runs of 25 and 48 yards. Hillis had already outplayed Harrison through the first two games on a yards-per-play basis, so he might have wrestled the starting job away.
