However, since those failed completions produced good yardage in very long-yardage situations (an 11-yard gain on third-and-12, a 12-yard gain on third-and-15, and a 6-yard gain on first-and-20), and since the receiving baseline for running backs is very low, each of these plays had positive DYAR. Woodhead also had a 19-yard catch on second-and-20.
