The full read
Rachaad White made one big play against the Rams and little else: 7 carries for 28 yards and -1.6 expected points added (EPA), what a play was worth given down, distance and field position, plus 2 catches on 3 targets for 41 yards. One of his 7 carries was successful, meaning it gained what the situation asked for.
The big one came on the first snap of the second quarter, tied 3-3. First and 10 at the Washington 48, Jayden Daniels threw short right and White took it 45 yards to the Rams 7, 51 of them after the catch: +2.6 EPA and 10.6 points of win probability, the estimate of each side's chance to win. Van Jefferson scored on the next snap. It was his longest catch of the season, past 13 yards. His best run, 14 yards on first and 10 at his own 29, came later in the quarter. On the final snap he recovered Chig Okonkwo's fumble at the Rams 16 and then fumbled himself, and the Rams recovered.
On the ground it was below his season. Through Week 8 he had 47 carries for 200 yards, a touchdown and -1.3 EPA, -0.03 a carry; here it was -0.23.
