As he prepared for his first start at running back, Grant set a goal: Five yards per carry.
He was at 2.5 yards per carry on six attempts in the second quarter. Then, after one more carry, he was at minus-1.3.
That’s what happens when you lose 24 yards on a rush attempt, as Grant did as he tried to avoid tacklers by going backwards, only to be brought down far behind the line of scrimmage.
