During the regular season, McGahee carried the ball 170 times for 671 yards and seven touchdowns. He also caught 24 passes for 173 yards. His rushing totals were his lowest by far in his five-season NFL career. In 2007, his first season as a Raven after being acquired from the Buffalo Bills in a trade, McGahee rushed for 1,207 yards and caught 43 passes.
However, in the conference championship game in Pittsburgh, McGahee was designated as the Ravens' feature back, and he responded with 60 yards and two touchdowns on 20 carries and 13 yards on two pass receptions. On a day when the Ravens had a tough time generating any offense at all, gaining just 198 total yards, McGahee was team leader in yards from scrimmage.
As his teammates cleaned out their lockers yesterday, McGahee said he would like to return to the Ravens next season but added that the decision rested with the team.
