Abram Castaneda's Rushing Yards a New Career-High
Miami was led to victory by Abram Castaneda, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Castaneda rushed for 142 yards and a touchdown on only 15 carries, and also threw for 235 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 11.2 yards per attempt, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
Alchesay's probably not too fond of Castaneda given he always seems to get the better of them. Castaneda threw for 208 yards and two touchdowns while completing 90% of his passes, and also rushed for 40 yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Falcons duked it out back in September of 2023.
