Recent Game Summaries
2018 Week 5 vs PIT (8 / 32 / 0 rush, 2 / 2 / 9 / 0 rec)
Earning his first start after missing three games with an bone bruise, Freeman earned four yards off left end and then carried T.J. Watt on his back for another four on the following play. Freeman was slow to transition from carrying out a play fake to attacking a defensive end in the red zone on a play-action pass that resulted in a third sack.
2018 Week 1 vs PHI (6 / 36 / 0 rush, 5 / 3 / 14 / 0 rec)
After Jones earned about 15 yards on an end around, they ran a toss with reverse action to Jones that opened the right side of the field for 20 yards. Two plays later, Ryan threw an RPO high and behind Freeman, resulting in a 3rd and 10. Freeman earned the first red zone carry and spun away from penetration in the crease for a gain of eight to reach the Falcons' one but stuffed on the next two carries. Ryan then overthrew Freeman at the one on a third-down shallow route and the defense rallied to the left flat to stop Freeman on a fourth-and-goal run to left end. Freeman gave up a sack on a bull rush by the blitzing linebacker on a third down that pushed the Falcons field goal range to a 52 yarder. Freeman earned a swing pass late in the half to set up a third-and-short in-cut that Julio Jones dropped with less than a minute in the half. Freeman suffered a knee injury that kept him out of the game late. He was walking on the knee at the sideline after using a heat wrap.
