The full read
Michael Wilson's best moment against the Lions came as a passer. As a receiver he had 7 targets, 4 catches, 30 yards and -0.5 expected points added (EPA). EPA is what a play was worth given down, distance and field position.
At 0-0 with 5:56 left in the first quarter, Arizona went for it on fourth and 1 at the Detroit 9. Wilson threw short right to Jacoby Brissett, who got to the 2: +2.3 EPA and +6.3 points of win probability. Brissett then found Teagan Quitoriano from the 2 for a 7-0 lead.
The rest was hard going. Backed up at his own 11 early in the second quarter, two straight throws to him fell incomplete on second and third and 12. The last throw of the first half, third and 19, was intended for him deep right and intercepted by Abney at the Detroit 17.
Weeks 1 through 4 brought 25 catches on 44 targets for 258 yards, 1 touchdown and -6.5 EPA, with 13 targets for 95 yards in Week 4.
