That was Cain’s first carry of the game and one that could very much decide the outcome. Coming into this matchup, Cain had 59 carries for 187 yards and 3 touchdowns while averaging a little over 3 yards a carry.
He’s already on pace to shatter his previous career-high in rushing yards from 2019. Cain finishes with 443 yards and 8 touchdowns on 5.3 yards per carry for that season.
If another short-yardage situation comes up, it wouldn’t be surprising to see Cain get the ball again, especially with that kind of success.
The game is currently being televised by FOX.
