- Playing 37-of-77 offensive snaps, Ingram put in one of the best rushing performances of the season, carrying the ball 21 times for 131 yards and three touchdowns. He averaged an impressive 4.86 yards after contact per attempt, the second best mark among backs this week, and forced five missed tackles in the process. His run grade of 93.0 is tops among backs this week, and is the third-best run grade of the season.
