Arian Foster a key cog in win over Jags

The Pro Bowl running back finished with over 100 yards from scrimmage, as he ran for 53 on 18 carries and caught five passes for 59 yards. One of those catches resulted in a score, and after the game, Foster reflected on his receiving ability.

“I do love catching the ball out of the backfield,” Foster said. “I feel like it creates a lot of matchup problems with their linebackers or safeties, because I feel like I run good routes out there.”

Bill O’Brien agreed with Foster, and took it a step further by saying the seven-year pro is “a really, really good route-runner”.
