The full read
Chris Rodriguez Jr. scored against the Ravens and did his best work as a receiver: 10 carries for 19 yards and a touchdown, plus 2 catches on 2 targets for 13 yards, in a 33-10 win in Baltimore. The touchdown was one of the two Jacksonville scored in 11 red-zone snaps.
Both catches came on third down in the second half. Up 20-3 late in the third, third and 4 at his own 47, he caught a short pass over the middle for 5 yards, +1.3 expected points added (EPA), what a play is worth given down, distance and field position. Up 26-3 early in the fourth, third and 8 at the Baltimore 30, he caught a short pass on the right for 8 to the 22, +1.8 EPA. The two catches matched his total through Week 8.
The carries gained little against open fronts. Eight of his 10 came after motion, for 14 yards, and none came against eight or more in the box. Through Week 8 he had 45 designed carries for 209 yards, 28 of them after motion for 130.
