Jonah Coleman got his heaviest workload of the season against the Panthers and scored the touchdown that put Denver ahead for good: 17 carries for 57 yards, plus 4 catches on 4 targets for 31. The carries were worth -2.2 expected points added (EPA), what a play was worth given down, distance and field position, and 6 of 17, 35.3%, were successful, meaning they gained what the situation asked for.
The score came down 14-13 with 10:22 left. First and goal at the Carolina 9, one snap after Troy Franklin converted a third and 6, he ran around right end for the touchdown: +2.0 EPA and 10.8 points of win probability, the estimate of each side's chance to win. Three of his carries lost yards, among them a 3-yard loss to Lee Hunter on second and 2 at the Carolina 40 in the first. With 2:53 left, up 26-21, he fell on Bo Nix's lost snap at the Denver 8.
Through Week 8 he had 30 carries for 134 yards, 2 touchdowns and +2.5 EPA, +0.08 a carry, with no more than 11 carries in a game; here it was -0.13 a carry.
