Offensive Highlights 

As the fourth pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, Anthony Richardson came into the season with high expectations, and until his season-ending injury in week five, he lived up to the billing. In week four, Richardson etched his name into the record books, becoming the first quarterback in the Super Bowl era to score a rushing touchdown in each of his first three career games.

Another rookie who shined this season was O’Cyrus Torrence. Torrence not only started all 19 games for the AFC East champion Buffalo Bills, but was also on the field for every single one of the Bills’ offensive snaps this season. The 2022 Consensus All-American was on an offensive line that blocked for the seventh most rushing yards in the league while allowing the least sacks in the entire NFL. Torrence was named to the NFL All-Rookie team for his efforts.
 

The only Buffalo Bill to play EVERY single snap this season. 💯

Congratulations @78_KingBo on being named to the NFL All-Rookie Team.🐊#GoGators | #GatorMade pic.twitter.com/1TQav8q96I

Demarcus Robinson, an eight-year NFL vet, put together a resurgent second half of the season as a 29-year-old in his first campaign with the Rams. After not seeing the field for the first eight weeks of the season, and just five targets through week 11, Robinson emerged as a top receiver target for the Rams from week 12 on, hauling in touchdown passes in four straight games. The Rams were 3-6 after week nine, when Robinson made his first catch, and finished the season 10-7, with an NFC wild card berth to boot.
 

This is now the Demarcus Robinson game.
