The full read
Fernando Mendoza got one drive against the Patriots, down 45-17 in the fourth quarter, in his first action of the season: 6 of 8 for 48 yards, including 16 to Tre Tucker.
The drive reached the New England 14 and stalled there: a third-and-4 throw fell incomplete, and on fourth and 4 he scrambled right for 3 yards to the 11, one short. That run was -2.9 expected points added (EPA), a measure of what a play was worth given down, distance and field position, and it left him at -1.7 EPA on 9 dropbacks.
