STACKED’s take
Irving's bell-cow role (88% backfield share) offset by season-low efficiency vs. Steelers.
Irving was a true bell-cow back with 22 of 25 backfield opportunities (88.0%) on 19 carries for 46 yards (2.4 YPC) and 2 catches for 3 yards, playing 63 of 74 snaps (85%, up from 54%). However, efficiency was poor against the Steelers' strong run defense; Irving averaged -0.5 yards before contact (season low) and was hit at or behind the line on 68.4% of runs (season high). Per Next Gen Stats, his 24 rushing yards over expected were a season low and fourth-fewest of his career. He recorded negative rushing yards before contact (-9) for the first time this season. Two red-zone carries gained 0 yards. The source views Irving/Egbuka as holds with stock trending up given Tampa Bay's No. 1 ROS schedule for RBs.
