Analysis
RB Zack Moss continued to see the majority of work. It will be interesting to see what his role is when Jonathan Taylor is healthy enough to return.
The rotation at tight end is stabilizing, and it’s clear Andrew Ogletree is the No. 2 behind Kylen Granson.
This is the first time this season QB Anthony Richardson played 100% of the snaps.
