Return man received four times more carries than the more efficient backup Mike Washington Jr., despite Washington's superior 5.0 YPC efficiency versus Jeanty's 3.4 YPC. Laube was awarded a 2-yard touchdown opportunity after a timeout in which Washington was removed from the field, raising questions about play-calling favoritism. The source questions the decision: 'Return man Dylan Laube got four times (4) more carries than Washington. Laube, a local kid from New Hampshire, was awarded the opportunity to get a 2-yd touchdown run after a timeout in which Washington was taken off the field. Was it because he was a better pass blocker? Or was it because he was at home in front of family and friends?'
