Grade Breakdown
What do these mean?Why 7.0?
Gordon's carries rarely kept Miami on schedule, and each touch cost the offense expected points, even against defenses easier than average. This is a small sample of 23 touches over 2 games, so a few plays swing the grade a lot.
Holding it back
- Averaged -0.240 expected points per touch, 41st of 51 RBs, a big drag on the grade.
- Rushing success rate of 15% ranked 50th of 51 RBs.
- Week 3 vs KC: a 2nd and 15 right tackle run lost 3 yards (-1.3 expected points), and a 3rd and 5 run gained only 2 (-1.3).
