That's 3️⃣ TDs for Tony Pollard! CLEvsTEN on CBS/Paramount+ Stream on @NFLPlus https://t.co/rQpRNNZYtM Via @NFL on X

What happened: Tony Pollard ran in the game's opening touchdown on Oct. 25 before reaching the end zone two more times during the CLEvsTEN regular-season broadcast on CBS and Paramount+. The third score completed a three-touchdown afternoon for the veteran running back.

Why it matters: The multi-score outing comes after Pollard resurfaced as a trade candidate on Oct. 2 and landed on PFF's trade-candidate list on Oct. 7. Having entered the 2026 campaign with lead-back expectations, his three-touchdown performance strengthens his market profile ahead of the Nov. 10 NFL trade cutoff.

By the numbers: Per ESPN (as of Sept. 29, 2026), Pollard logged 242 carries for 1,082 rushing yards and 5 touchdowns across 17 games during the 2025 season, averaging 4.47 yards per attempt. Selected 128th overall in the fourth round of the 2019 NFL Draft (as of Sept. 29, 2026), his 3 touchdowns on Oct. 25 equal 60 percent of his full-season 2025 rushing touchdown total.

What to watch: Final game totals will follow the conclusion of Sunday's CLEvsTEN broadcast, with the Nov. 10 NFL trade deadline approaching in just over two weeks.
