Taysom Hill Breaks Football Outsiders

NFL Week 5 - Well, it finally happened: Taysom Hill broke the Football Outsiders computers. For one glorious afternoon, he was one of the most dangerous players in the NFL … but you won't find him anywhere in our tables that list the best passers, runners, and receivers of Week 5.

Hill terrorized the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, rushing for 112 yards on only nine carries, a 12.4-yard average. And though he was explosive, it was his efficiency that really stood out; seven of those carries went for first downs. Philadelphia's Jalen Hurts was the only player to run for more first downs this week, and it took him five more carries (plus a kneeldown) to do it.
