The Brewers ranked 2nd in the majors in on-base percentage and 3rd in runs and batting average while posting a franchise-best 97-65 regular-season record.

No wonder they’re facing a 2-0 NLCS deficit.

He caught a 55-yard TD pass and gained 175 yards from scrimmage, including rushing 108 yards — his 1st time eclipsing 100 yards since the last time he faced the Commanders, when he ran for 129 yards and a TD on 18 carries.
