STACKED’s take

Negative signalUsage

Cook had just 12 carries (18 yards early, 57 yards in Q4); Brady abandoned run game prematurely.

James Cook III had just twelve carries for the game, totaling just 18 yards on his first seven rushes. However, he carried five times in the fourth quarter for 57 yards, suggesting Joe Brady seemed to abandon the running game for a while rather than trying to make sure that one of the most dynamic offensive players in the league found success. If Brady had stuck with the running game earlier in the second half, the outcome could have been different.
