What happened: Coach Minter highlighted the impact of Rashod Bateman and Mark Andrews following Sunday's game. The coach specifically credited Bateman for playing the game the right way, pointing to his downfield blocking when he was not the targeted receiver.

Why it matters: Bateman was held without an official reception during the contest, with one catch erased by a penalty. With Zay Flowers ruled out, the offense relied on Bateman's discipline in blocking schemes to support the passing and rushing attack.

What to watch: Bateman's blocking proficiency could secure his snap count in heavier offensive packages even when he is not the primary read.
