Carl Lawson picked up his sixth sack of the season, Daniel Carlson connected from 50 or more yards again, and Darius Slayton continues to be the go-to WR for the Giants.
That and more in this week’s NFL rundown.
BEST OF WEEK 13
Daniel Carlson, K, Las Vegas Raiders
Carlson made a pair of field goals and was 3 for 3 on extra points Sunday, scoring nine points in the Raiders’ 27-20 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers. His 55-yard field goal in the second quarter was his eighth make of 50 or more yards on the season, tops among all NFL kickers. Over the last three seasons, Carlson has made 18 of 21 field goals of 50 yards or longer. Daniel’s brother, Anders Carlson, was also in attendance for Sunday’s win.

Carlton Davis, CB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Davis and the Buccaneers hosted the New Orleans Saints in a Monday Night Football game that would have major implications on the NFC South. Davis finished with five tackles, earning a tackling grade of 78.7 from PFF – his second highest of the season. He also broke up a pass and allowed just one reception on four targets in a dramatic come-from-behind victory. The win moved the Buccaneers into first place in the division.
Carl Lawson, DE, New York Jets
It was another standout performance for Lawson on Sunday as the edge rusher had three tackles, one sack and two hits on Vikings’ quarterback Kirk Cousins. The sack came on the final play of the third quarter on 3rd-and-6 and forced a punt. Lawson finished with an overall PFF grade of 62.6 and tackling grade of 72.4, his best of the season. He now has six sacks through the team’s first 12 games after missing all of last year due to injury.

Darius Slayton, WR, New York Giants
In a rivalry game against the Washington Commanders on Sunday, Slayton hauled in six catches for 90 yards, including a long grab of 55 yards, to lead the Giants. He had more than double the number of receiving yards than any of his teammates. He also tied a season high in receptions. Slayton has now had 58 or more receiving yards in each of the last six games and is averaging 18.3 yards per catch during that span. With 566 yards through the first 11 games, he’s on pace to set a new career high in receiving yards for a season.
Sheeeeeesh 🤧
