Key Insights

Why did the zero RB strategy struggle this year?

Running backs drafted later didn't pan out; foundational early-round RBs stayed healthy.

Why did Bo Nix perform well despite a slow start?

He improved significantly in the second month, especially in home games against weaker defenses.

Why did the tight end position have a standout week?

There were 17 touchdowns to tight ends, significantly higher than the average of 7.4 per week.

Why did Anthony Richardson struggle as a quarterback?

He had a 44% completion rate, ranking him poorly among quarterbacks with 250+ dropbacks since 2000.

Why did the Cowboys' offense struggle against the 49ers?

Dak Prescott's mobility issues and play-calling dysfunction limited effectiveness.

Why did Kenneth Walker III have a disappointing game?

He had a negative 19-yard run and the game got out of hand early, leading to fewer opportunities.

Why did Devontae Adams have a low-scoring game?

He had only 4 receptions for 54 yards, and the Jets' offense was dysfunctional.
