- Jonathan Taylor shines bright: Taylor earned a 90.1 PFF rushing grade after a dominant performance on the ground in Berlin. His 205 yards after contact were more than any other running back’s total rushing yards this week, as he forced seven missed tackles and scored three touchdowns.
- Tyrice Knight enjoys a breakout performance: While teammate DeMarcus Lawrence scored twice, it was Knight who forced a pair of fumbles on sacks that set up both touchdowns. Those two sacks came on just four blitz opportunities, and he added another tackle resulting in a defensive stop, earning a 93.9 PFF grade.
