Ford rushed for 92 yards and a touchdown on 11 carries in Sunday's 24-6 loss to the Bengals. He also caught all five of his targets for 39 yards and returned three kickoffs for 62 yards.
Ford replaced Nick Chubb (foot) as the lead back and broke off a 66-yard run on the game's opening play from scrimmage before scoring a touchdown in the third quarter. Other than the long run, Ford was held to 26 yards on 10 carries, but he was part of the offense's best rushing effort of the season on the heels of the backfield's 139-yard output last week, when Ford had a 62-yard touchdown scamper. While the roster is expected to undergo significant churn during the offseason, Ford will likely return as the lead back in 2025.
