Greg Bedard: I thought he was spectacular. 2 sacks, 7 quarterback pressures, 3 run stops. I mean, this is why they drafted him. There were a lot of times where you weren’t really sure whether it was going to come together for him. Even his conditioning and things like that. But what Vic Fangio has done with that defense. Jalen was spectacular this weekend.

Greg Bedard: The Eagles left guard was outstanding in that game. He opened up a bunch of running lanes. He was terrific.

Mark Andrews – Baltimore Ravens – TE

Greg Bedard: The fumble and the drop. And, this might have changed, but he didn’t talk after the game and he didn’t talk today. That’s what I saw from Ravens reporters. I mean, come on dude, be a pro. I understand after the game, fine. A couple days later? You’ve got to stand up and answer the questions.
Blake Fisher – Houston Texans – OL
Beyond sub-optimal to leave rookie Blake Fisher against future Hall of Famer Chris Jones.
Greg Bedard: He was horrendous. He gave up 3 sacks and 7 quarterbacks pressures.
Jared Goff – Detroit Lions – QB

Greg Bedard: This was similar to what we saw with Goff and the Rams where McVay just got to a point where he was like “there’s only so much I can win with Jared Goff. I need better. I need 10-15% better”
