Impact McIvor's rushing touchdown marks his first since Week 1, and his 48 yards are a season-high. On the other hand, he failed to log any passing touchdowns and recorded more turnovers. They are why McIvor was dropped from starting quarterback, a demotion that cost the QB four games and limited him to 183 completed passes on 273 pass attempts for 2,062 yards and a 12-6 TD-INT ratio.
