(60.0%) rounded out the top three receivers. Shaheed (5-70-1)
scored on a 45-yard pass.
Just 10 snaps and 2 touches for TE Taysom Hill this week. Not
great. However, Juwan Johnson played on 71.7% of the snaps and
found the endzone.
As usual, it was the Kyren Williams (78.6%) show on the ground
for the Rams. Ronnie Rivers (21.4%) returned to action and played
in the No.2 RB role over Royce Freeman who didn’t have a
snap.
