The full read

Kyren Williams had the volume and not much room against the Commanders: 15 carries, 45 yards and -1.3 expected points added (EPA), what a play was worth given down, distance and field position, plus 3 catches on 4 targets for 16 yards. Five of the 15 carries were successful, meaning they gained what the situation asked for.

His biggest carry came down 3-0 in the first quarter. Fourth and 1 at the Washington 29, he went up the middle for 2 yards: +1.9 EPA and 6.4 points of win probability, the estimate of each side's chance to win. The drive ended in a 33-yard field goal. Tied 13-13 on the first snap of the fourth, he ran for 9 yards to the 8, then converted third and 1 two snaps later; Puka Nacua scored from the 7 after that. A third-and-2 throw to him at the 2 fell incomplete just before halftime, and the Rams kicked a field goal.

Per carry it was below his season. Through Week 8 he had 112 carries for 548 yards, 6 touchdowns and +0.2 EPA, 4.9 yards a carry; here it was 3.0.
