Where Has This Tony Pollard Been?

Titans RB Tony Pollard racked up 161 yards and 2 TDs on a season-high 25 carries in Sunday's narrow victory over the Browns. The game marked the first time since Week 5 that Pollard found the end zone or rushed more than 11 times. His production relied heavily on TD runs of 65 and 32 yards, which accounted for 60.3% of his rushing yardage for the game. Pollard averaged just 2.8 yards across his other 23 attempts, which falls much more in line with the Cleveland rushing matchup for the year.

Pollard finished the first half with a modest 10-5 carry lead over Tyjae Spears. The second half found him beating Spears 15-3 in that category.

It's a nice reminder of the upside that Pollard possesses, but the game marked just the second time all season that Pollard logged more than 67 rushing yards. And he contributed nothing in the passing game.

So it's probably best to treat this as an outlier performance. Maybe it makes Pollard the play in some deeper-league decisions for a Week 15 matchup with the 49ers. But Tennessee also won't face a worse overall team the rest of the way than the Browns. (The Saints in Week 17 come closest.)

So don't overrate Pollard's utility over the next three weeks.
