Rushing is when they run the football and the gain yards.
More because the more rushing yards, the farther you run or carry the ball. Also, in fantasy football you get points for rushing yards.
One of the statistics kept in football is rushing yards. A 'rushing title' basically means the same as 'who led the league in rushing yards'. The player that wins a 'rushing title' is the player 'who led the league in rushing yards'. Rushing yards are accrued when an offensive player advances the ball past the line of scrimmage without the aid of a forward pass.
