The full breakdown

Meyers provided an early spark by turning a 3rd-and-2 screen into a 23-yard gain with decisive running (Q1 10:21). However, he negated that momentum shortly after with a false start in motion inside the red zone (Q1 08:23). His impact in the passing game also waned during the second quarter, where he failed to haul in contested slant targets through contact on two separate drives (Q2 04:46, Q2 00:47). He rebounded slightly with a disciplined clearout route that sprung Ja'Marr Chase late in the fourth quarter (Q4 00:58), finishing right at replacement level.
