The full read
Zach Charbonnet led Seattle's backfield against the Cardinals: 16 carries for 77 yards and -0.9 expected points added (EPA), what a play was worth given down, distance and field position, plus a 9-yard catch on 2 targets. 7 of the 16 carries, 43.8%, were successful, meaning they gained what the situation asked for.
His most valuable carry came on the game's first touchdown drive. Down 3-0 late in the first quarter, third and 1 at the Arizona 32, he ran up the middle for 8 yards to the 24: +1.1 EPA and 4.0 points of win probability, the estimate of each side's chance to win. AJ Barner scored on the second snap of the second quarter. On the drive before, his 2-yard loss on second and 2 at the Arizona 47 cost 6.1 points, and a third-down throw to him fell incomplete. He finished the game: taking over at its own 1 with 4:35 left, Seattle ran out the clock, and his four carries went for 7, 17, 2 and 7 yards as Arizona spent its timeouts. The 17 was his longest of the game.
It was his biggest workload of the season. His only previous carries came in Week 8, 6 for 23 yards and -0.4 EPA; here it was -0.06 a carry.
