West carried the ball 13 times for 48 yards and added 16 yards on three catches in Sunday's win over the Bengals.
West seemed like he was heating up during a three-game stretch from Week 4 to Week 6, during which he averaged 108 total yards and scored three touchdowns. Now the only heat West is feeling is rookie Kenneth Dixon hot on his heels. This year's fourth-rounder has seen double-digit touches in three of the last four games and gathered more touches, 17 to 16, and yards, 80 to 64, than West on Sunday. Dixon deserves credit for the equaling, or even shifting, of power in Baltimore's offense - but West also isn't doing much to stop it. The bruising back has averaged just 2.9 yards per carry in the last five games since his Week 6 high mark.
