Tony Pollard runs it in for the first TD of the game 🗣️ CLEvsTEN on CBS/Paramount+ Stream on @NFLPlus https://t.co/XVst Via @NFL on X

What happened: Tony Pollard broke the scoreless tie with an early rushing score in Sunday's CLEvsTEN regular-season matchup on CBS.

Why it matters: The scoring run comes as Pollard has surfaced in October trade discussions ahead of the Nov. 10 deadline. He is matching up against a run defense that has surrendered the league's second-highest explosive run rate.

By the numbers: Per FantasyPtsData, Pollard ranks 21st among 39 qualifying running backs in explosive run rate this season.

What to watch: Pollard's carries and red-zone usage through the rest of Sunday's game remain key markers ahead of the Nov. 10 trade cutoff.
