He averaged a whopping 5.4 yards per carry on 14 attempts and scored two rushing touchdowns. To be fair, he didn't play against the Saints starting defense -- he missed that game with a sore hip. Mason's carries came against the Titans backups and the Raiders backups. Still, he clearly outclassed the competition and earned the job as Christian McCaffrey's primary backup.
