The full read
Makai Lemon led the Eagles in targets against the Giants: 9 of them, 27.3% of the team's total, for 6 catches, 61 yards and +2.5 expected points added (EPA), what a play was worth given down, distance and field position.
His best stretch came up 8-6 midway through the second quarter. Second and 9 at the Philadelphia 12, Joe Milton III hit him short left for 17 yards, +1.7 EPA; two snaps later, second and 8 at the 31, he caught a 15-yarder to the 46, +1.5 EPA and 3.4 points of win probability, the estimate of each side's chance to win. The drive ended in a punt after a sack. Down 19-8 late in the fourth, he converted third and 7 with a 10-yard catch to the New York 36, and the drive ended in a 45-yard field goal. One of his three misses came on third and 2 at his own 14, and the Eagles punted.
Per target it was well above his season. Through Week 8 he had 31 catches on 45 targets for 251 yards, a touchdown and +3.3 EPA, +0.07 a target; here it was +0.28. The 61 yards trailed only his 67 in Week 7.
