Tyus Bowser, LB | Baltimore Ravens
• Did not record any stats in 28-10 win over Pittsburgh
Great blitz design. Notice how two Steelers linemen on the right side aren't blocking anybody after Tyus Bowser drops into coverage.

Because Samuels (38) kicks out to block Humphrey, nobody impedes Judon's path to Hodges. https://t.co/c9o9t6OUG3

• Did not record any stats in 31-21 loss at Kansas City
D.J. Hayden, CB | Jacksonville Jaguars

Ed Oliver, DT | Buffalo Bills

Looking forward to having you back in the H, @Edoliver_11!#NFLCoogs #GoCoogs https://t.co/TNuicXhcLq

Ed Oliver's play this season has been encouraging considering his raw talents. He's earned a 64.1 run-defense grade and 63.7 pass-rushing grade on the season, putting him right around average for both. With his physical tools, the arrow should only be pointing up from here #Bills pic.twitter.com/XRtOnAzJZP

Watching Greg Ward continue to develop chemistry with Carson Wentz has been exciting. These guys were on the same page time and time again on Sunday night. Watch how early the ball is coming out on these throws and how little adjusting Ward has to do on the back end #FlyEaglesFly pic.twitter.com/tusSI77GKQ
