Crabtree brought in three of seven targets for 24 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 31-30 win over the Chiefs.
EDGE Analysis
Crabtree made up for a sluggish and inefficient night in spectacular fashion, bringing in a two-yard touchdown throw on the third of three untimed downs at the end of the game. The veteran receiver went low and towards the pylon to make the grab, which was easily upheld upon review. The nine-year veteran's nose for the end zone has led to touchdown receptions in three straight contests and six overall in six contests. The explosive re-emergence of fellow pass catcher Amari Cooper on Thursday did eat into Crabtree's targets on the night, but continued strong play opposite him can only help the latter over the long term by taking away defensive attention. Crabtree will look to be more efficient with his opportunities versus the Bills in Week 8.
