Williams' season-ending injury means bigger roles for Joshua Palmer and 2023 first-round pick Quentin Johnston.
Williams was adjusting to a slightly different role in Moore’s scheme, playing more in the slot than he did in Joe Lombardi’s offense. He played in the slot on 13.7 percent of his offensive snaps in 2021 and 13.1 percent of his snaps in 2022, according to TruMedia. Through three games this season, that rate had jumped to nearly 30 percent.
Allen set a career high in catches and receiving yards in Sunday’s win. His 18 catches were the most by any player age 31 or older since 2000, according to TruMedia. The Vikings and defensive coordinator Brian Flores unleashed a maniacal game plan in which they blitzed Herbert on 41 of his 49 dropbacks — an 83.7 percent rate. That was the highest single-game rate against a quarterback with 10 or more pass attempts since 2013, according to TruMedia.
