What happened: Keon Coleman converted a gain that marked a 14th first down before the break. The touch came in the opening half of Thursday night's game.

Why it matters: Chain-moving targets matter more than isolated plays because they extend possessions and keep an offense on schedule. For Coleman, repeated early involvement is the detail worth tracking.

By the numbers: The number attached to the play is 14 first downs in the first half, placing Coleman's gain in a high-volume opening stretch.

What to watch: Watch whether Coleman keeps seeing possession-down work after halftime or whether his usage shifts deeper into the game.
