Give him one gap and he help win that supuer bowl

I think you misinterpreted it. Freeney was three yards up field when the ball snaps. The tackle is pushing him past the QB. The C gap doesn’t travel with them, the C gap stays at the line of scrimmage. A RB isn’t running backwards to run around the tackle, he is running to where the tackle was at the beginning of the play. He is aiming for that area because he knows it is empty due to Freeney pushing up field so fast.
Think of it like a draw without the hesitation. The RB is running to the spot vacated by the DE. He doesn’t want get too close to the B gap with the DT against the guard. He is going wide forcing the LB to run to a spot to keep contain. A RB should win a speed battle with a LB.
