Taylor's efficiency dropped significantly after Jones' injury

Jonathan Taylor's rushing efficiency plummeted after Daniel Jones' injury, with his yards per carry dropping from 5.7 to 3.3. This decline was largely due to opposing linebackers no longer fearing the pass, allowing them to fly downhill and plug gaps, rather than a decline in Taylor's individual talent or the offensive line's play.
