Tyjae Spears out-snapped Tony Pollard for the second straight week. Spears held an 11-8 edge this time around, bringing the running total to 24-17. Both backs have six carries and Spears has four targets to Pollard's one. Like most people, I assumed Pollard would handle the bulk of the carries this season with Spears playing mostly on passing downs. It looks like they could be in more of a true committee.

Pollard's snap deficit to Spears signals committee role, not lead back

Pollard has been out-snapped by Tyjae Spears for the second straight week, with Spears holding a 24-17 edge in total snaps and a 4-1 advantage in targets; this suggests the Titans backfield may be more of a true committee than expected, contrary to the assumption that Pollard would handle the bulk of the carries.
