That production came along with a hard protection night where he enabled 6 pass conclusions on 6 targets for 48 backyards.

LT Overton 19659016 (22 protective snaps|0 deals with|0 TFL|0 sacks|0 interceptions|0 passes safeguarded|0 pressures|0 QB hits) Overton played after going into the weekend doubtful with a foot injury.
