Why do big rushing numbers always lead to victory?

OK so all the analytics say that passing is way way way more effective than running

But we see a team pass 50 times for 300 yards all the time and it doesn't always lead to victory

Once in a blue moon we see a team run 50 times for 300 yards and when that happens the team never ever ever loses and the other team gets embarrassed off the field

Obviously it's harder to run for that many yards because defenses try to stop that from happening and I'm not questioning team strategies but I'd like to know why there's such a disparity in the results
