San Francisco 49ers running back Carlos Hyde had 25 carries for 84 yards against the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday. It wasn’t his best game, but he also had a pair of rushing touchdowns and caught three passes for 10 yards.
The most notable stat of the week, in my mind, is this: 61 of Hyde’s 84 yards came after contact, according to Pro Football Focus. Those are some hard-fought yards, and a clear indicator that Hyde had to give everything he could to pick up those yards.
Through three games, Hyde has 49 carries for 253 yards and two touchdowns, with 12 receptions for 61 yards.
