Game balls! Who gets em?

Game Balls

Offense:

Teddy Bridgewater - I think he's played better overall in other games, but this week he was able to find the end zone 3 times through the air and on the ground.

Mike Davis - Can't say enough about how he played today. It wasn't just the big plays that impressed me, but how he refuses to LOSE yardage. So many other backs would be stopped behind the line, and Mike Davis always has that extra wiggle, that extra effort, that extra step to get back to the line, and gain an extra yard or two. Those are the inches that win football games.

Defense:

Brian Burns - Had a really solid outing. He was constantly putting pressure on Murray, and made some key stops.

Jeremy Chinn - Another solid outing for Chinn. He hasn't been perfect, but for a rookie he's been better than advertised for his draft position by a mile. He's made 31 other NFL teams kick themselves.

The whole team and coaching staff pretty much deserve gameballs so I'm going to instead highlight who stepped up and impressed today:

1. Gross-Matos: Before this week, mainly heard his name called for a bonehead penalty. Came up huge with some tough tackles and that one brilliant sack/fumble.

2. Curtis Samuel: Made some critical catches with his hands, keeping drives alive. We don't need him to get 100 yards per game. Just do what he did today.

3. Derrick Brown: All over the backfield. Demonstrated that interior presence we hoped for as a top 10 pick.

Credit due to all the other players mentioned from others but these 3 showed more today than they had all year and deserve a little extra kudos I'd say.
