The full read
Isaiah Likely scored the touchdown that beat the Eagles: 6 targets, 5 catches, 53 yards and +3.9 expected points added (EPA), what a play was worth given down, distance and field position, +0.66 a target.
The score came with 2:30 left in the third, down 8-6, at the end of a 14-play drive. Second and 5 at the Philadelphia 5, Jameis Winston threw short over the middle and Likely caught it in the end zone for the lead, 13-8 after the extra point: +1.7 EPA and 7.6 points of win probability, the estimate of each side's chance to win. New York never trailed again. His first catch was worth more: on the opening drive, third and 5 at his own 25, J.J. McCarthy hit him short right for 27 yards to the Philadelphia 48, +2.9 EPA. A catch at the Philadelphia 24 later in the first quarter was ruled a fumble and overturned on review.
It was his sixth touchdown of the season and his first since Week 6. Through Week 7 he had 41 catches on 63 targets for 395 yards, 5 touchdowns and +14.3 EPA, +0.23 a target.
