Yahoo Sports NFL on Elijah Higgins

Higgins' elite run blocking (77.0 grade, 2nd among TEs) fuels Cardinals' edge attack.

Higgins holds the second-best run blocking grade among all NFL tight ends (77.0), making him a key contributor to Arizona's edge-rushing attack. The Cardinals do most of their damage on the perimeter because their interior offensive line isn't very good, but their tight ends can block effectively. This blocking prowess supports the Cardinals' ability to attack Detroit's weak perimeter run defense, where the Lions allow +0.36 EPA/rush outside left tackle (2nd worst) and +0.17 EPA/rush outside right tackle (5th worst).
