Against the Philadelphia Eagles, Detroit Lions running back Theo Riddick recorded six receptions for 33 yards and two scores, making it a highly productive day for the receptive back.
Those two scores, a 1-yard pass and a 17-yard pass, could have exploited a weakness in the Eagles defense, which has otherwise been stellar against the pass. Philadelphia has only allowed an 80.1 quarterback rating, good for the ninth-lowest rating in the NFL this year.
But the Redskins have their own version of Riddick in Chris Thompson, an equally catch-happy running back. So far this season, Thompson has 12 receptions for 115 yards.
