John Johnson III - S, Los Angeles Rams - (BC 2013-2016):
Rams 38, Cardinals 28: John Johnson III played one of his best games of the season on Sunday when the Rams defeated their division rivals and continued their playoff push. Johnson was a key piece of the Rams’ secondary that held Kyler Murray to 173 passing yards, down from a season average of about 250 yards per game. Johnson tied a season-high with eight solo tackles, finishing with nine total, and played 100% of defensive snaps.
Week 14 Matchup: New England Patriots @ Los Angeles Rams, Thursday 8:20 p.m.
Matt Ryan - QB, Atlanta Falcons - (BC 2003-2007):
Saints 21, Falcons 16: The Atlanta Falcons fell to the NFC South-leading Saints for the second time this season as their offense struggled to find the end zone. Matt Ryan did not have a great showing in the loss. He completed 19 of his 39 attempts for 273 yards and a touchdown. Ryan’s season-low completion percentage of 48.72% was not solely on him. It was largely the result of poor offensive line protection and a running game that did not offer much support. The Falcons ran for 70 yards on 21 carries. Ryan's only turnover came on the ground as he lost one fumble. The disappointing Falcons now stand at 4-8 on the season.
Week 14 Matchup: Atlanta Falcons @ Los Angeles Chargers, Sunday 4:25 p.m.
Harold Landry - OLB, Tennessee Titans - (BC 2014-2017):
Browns 41, Titans 35: The Titans made the final score much closer than the game really was. They were trounced in the first half, trailing 38-7 at the break. Landry struggled to make a major impact. He racked up three tackles, two of which were solo, and defended one pass. Tennessee collectively struggled to do anything to slow Baker Mayfield and the Cleveland offense. The Titans only recorded three tackles for loss, hit Mayfield just once, and did not sack him. The Titans now sit at 8-4 on the year.
Week 14 Matchup: Tennessee Titans @ Jacksonville Jaguars, Sunday 1:00 p.m.
Justin Simmons - FS, Denver Broncos - (BC 2013-2015):
Chiefs 22, Broncos 16: The Broncos put up a great effort on the road against the Chiefs and their powerhouse offensive unit. Simmons was part of a stout Denver secondary that put the offense in a position to win the game. As a unit, the Broncos played spectacular red zone defense, allowing the Chiefs to find the end zone just once. They stood their ground on third downs, holding the Chiefs to just three conversions out of 10 attempts. Individually, Simmons finished with eight tackles, five of which were solo and one for loss, and continued his streak of playing 100% of defensive snaps.
Week 14 Matchup: Denver Broncos @ Carolina Panthers, Sunday 1:00 p.m.
