The full read
Nothing to nothing against the Buccaneers, 14 19 left in the first half, second and three at the Tampa Bay three. MarShawn Lloyd went up the middle and Parrish dropped him for a three-yard loss at the six. −1.6 expected points added — expected points added is what a play was worth given down, distance and field position — his costliest snap of the day. On third and six, Jordan Love threw short left to Lloyd, and Lloyd was pushed out at the two for four yards. On fourth and two, Matthew Golden caught the touchdown.
The line: seven carries, 13 yards, one first down, two of the seven successful, −3.0 expected points on the carries; five targets, five catches, 36 yards, two first downs, +0.3 on the targets. The first down was five yards on third and one early in the third quarter, on the drive Tucker Kraft finished; one yard on third and two at the Tampa Bay 10 in the first quarter came up short. The best catches came late: 16 yards to the Tampa Bay 16 in the fourth quarter on the drive that ended in Kaleb Johnson's fumble, and 12 to the 21 with four 59 left. A false start on Lloyd followed, and on the next snap Love was intercepted.
The split: Johnson eight carries, Lloyd seven, Chris Brooks four. Lloyd's five targets were third on the team, behind seven each to Golden and Kraft.
Back in June the preview called Lloyd a watchlist with availability as the one question and the competition with Brooks as the thing to watch. His carries have gone 13, six, four and seven, and he has played all four games. Four games: 30 carries, 81 yards, nine catches on 11 targets for 49. Sunday's five catches were more than his first three weeks combined.
