Martinez rushed for 154 yards and a touchdown on only 14 carries, and also threw for 301 yards and three touchdowns while completing 81.8% of his passes. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fifth straight game with at least 113 rushing yards dating back to last season.
This season, Martinez has thrown those 3 touchdowns while averaging 134.6 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after five games last season, he had two rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to six.
