The full read
Nothing to nothing against the Browns, five 49 left in the first quarter, third and 16 at the Cleveland 44 after a sack. Aaron Rodgers threw short right to Michael Pittman for nine yards, short of the sticks, and Cleveland was flagged for roughing the passer, 15 more and a first down. 12.3 points of win probability, the chance of winning the game after the play against before it. Roman Wilson scored five snaps later.
The line: four targets, two catches, 15 yards. The other catch was six yards in the second quarter. The costly target was the second snap of the second quarter, up seven, deep right, intercepted by Ward at the Cleveland 44; four snaps later the game was tied. He also had a false start on the opening drive and an illegal shift that wiped out a three-yard Jaylen Warren run in the fourth quarter.
Back in June the preview named the split with DK Metcalf as what sets Pittman's ceiling. Thursday Metcalf had nine targets to his four. Three games played: 12 targets, seven catches, 89 yards.
