Dalton Schultz caught 2 of 4 targets for 42 yards against the Chargers, +2.6 expected points added (EPA), what a play was worth given down, distance and field position, and both catches came on touchdown drives. The first mattered most. Up 17-9 with 57 seconds left in the half, after two incompletions to him from the Houston 24, third and 10, he caught a short pass and got out of bounds at the 38 after 14 yards: +1.1 EPA and 5 points of win probability, the estimate of each side's chance to win. Kayshon Boutte scored four plays later. In the third his 28-yard catch reached the Chargers' 28, and Nico Collins scored six plays after that.

The 42 yards sat close to his season: through seven games he had 33 catches on 43 targets for 322 yards, +0.23 EPA a target; here it was +0.65.
