The full read
Brian Thomas Jr. made his one catch count against the Colts: 2 targets, 1 catch, 12 yards and a touchdown, worth +2.8 expected points added (EPA), what a play was worth given down, distance and field position.
It finished the 98-yard opening drive. Scoreless with 5:35 left in the first quarter, a false start had pushed third and 7 back to third and 12 at the Indianapolis 12. Trevor Lawrence threw short over the middle and Thomas caught it for the touchdown, +3.3 EPA and 6.2 points of win probability, the estimate of each side's chance to win. His other target, deep right on first and 10 from his own 46, fell incomplete.
It was his first catch since his Week 4 touchdown at Cincinnati; he had none on 5 targets in Weeks 5 and 6. Through Week 7 he had 9 catches on 19 targets for 105 yards, a touchdown and +1.8 EPA.
