7 carries, 14 yards, 1 TD
The other 7 games average 62 yards. This one was 48 below.
Dashed line: 100 yards.
No bar in a game where the team had under 100 rushing yards: a share of that little says nothing.
Share of the team's total this season.
Each line is one carry: taller means more yards, and a line pointing down lost yards. Black lines are touchdowns. The play text only says left, middle or right, so inside each lane the carries are lined up shortest to longest, not placed. Of the carries with a spot in the play text: left 20, middle 69, right 19. The longest went for 28 yards.
