Carson struggled to find a rhythm running against the Cincinnati Bengals defensive front on Sunday, but so did the entire team.
Yet when it mattered most, Carson put on his big boy pants and broke four tackles before being brought down by a fifth defender en route to his biggest gain of the afternoon. His 21 yard run came on 3rd and 1 in the fourth quarter with a one-point lead and three minutes left in the game. It’s the type of play a RB1 with Pro Bowl potential needs to be able to make at least once.
