The full read
Brock Bowers had his third 100-yard game of the season against the 49ers: 8 targets, 7 catches, 111 yards, a touchdown and +4.0 expected points added (EPA), what a play was worth given down, distance and field position. A lost fumble cost -5.2 of it.
The touchdown came down 28-10 in the third quarter, on the Raiders' first full drive of the half. Second and 4 at the San Francisco 21, Kirk Cousins threw deep over the middle and Bowers caught it for the score, 28-16 before the extra point, +2.6 EPA and 3.6 points of win probability, the estimate of each side's chance to win. His 9-yard catch on third and 4 at the 36 had kept the drive going, +1.6 EPA.
His next catch gave the ball away. Down 28-17 with 7:41 left in the third, one snap after an interception put Las Vegas at the San Francisco 31, he caught a short pass on second and 10 for 5 yards, and Fred Warner forced the fumble. Dre Greenlaw recovered and replay upheld it, -5.2 EPA and 6.8 points of win probability. Down 35-17 in the fourth, his 33-yard catch on third and 9 reached the 1, +4.1 EPA; the drive ended in an end-zone interception.
Per target it was close to his season. Through Week 8, in six games, he had 41 catches on 61 targets for 547 yards, 5 touchdowns and +33.1 EPA, +0.54 a target; here it was +0.51. The 111 yards trailed only his 116 in Week 3.
