McKinnon rushed 18 times for 85 yards and a touchdown, while also catching three passes (on five targets) for 10 yards in Monday night's win over the Giants.
McKinnon put together a strong overall performance Monday night, showing his ability to replace some of the production lost from Adrian Peterson's (knee) absence. He averaged close to five yards per carry and caught a trio of passes, but his four-yard, fourth-quarter touchdown rush was probably the most satisfying part of his Week 4 showing. Yes, teammate Matt Asiata vultured a one-yard touchdown plunge to start the game, but McKinnon's 21 total touches once again trumped Asiata's eight, and McKinnon proved he too can score in the red zone, which could open even more opportunities going forward.
