No. 4: RB Carlos Hyde’s Dominant Performance in Week 14

San Francisco’s 23-17 loss to the New York Jets in Week 14 is yet another one of those ugly performances fans have grown accustomed to this season.

But one bright spot from the game came from running back Carlos Hyde.

Hyde rushed for 193 yards on just 17 carries, averaging a whopping 11.4 yards per attempt. He also managed to haul in a seven-yard touchdown pass too, increasing his value on the day.

Hyde was in position to reach 1,000 rushing yards for the first time in his three-year career. But a season-ending MCL injury in Week 16 left the No. 1 tailback just 12 yards shy of this goal.
