He showed off some serious burst, turning on the afterburners on one carry for 61 yards.
For the season, Stevenson has caught 4 touchdowns while averaging 33.1 receiving yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after seven games last season, he had five rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to 11.
