Auburn in the NFL: Week 14 rundown

Auburn in the NFL: Week 14 rundownAuburn in the NFL: Week 14 rundown

The Colts' Braden Smith and the Eagles' Jack Driscoll played a combined 130 snaps Sunday, and neither player allowed a sack. For Smith, he's yet to allow a sack on the season. That and more in this week's NFL rundown.  

BEST OF WEEK 14

Carlton Davis, CB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The Buccaneers needed a win Sunday, and Davis and the defense delivered. The third-year cornerback finished with six tackles and broke up a pass on third down to force a field goal, which was missed, in a 26-14 victory over the Minnesota Vikings. Davis also played a major role in holding Adam Thielen and Justin Jefferson to just seven catches for 78 yards on 12 targets. He's currently tied for the NFL lead with 17 pass breakups on the season. 


Jack Driscoll, OT, Philadelphia Eagles
Starting his fourth game of the season, Driscoll more than held his own at right tackle for the Eagles in a 24-21 win over the New Orleans Saints. The rookie earned the highest PFF grade of the week (63.0) for an offensive line that did not allow a sack. Driscoll also played all 69 snaps on offense despite suffering an MCL sprain during the game. He's expected to miss the remainder of the season due to the injury. 

Kerryon Johnson, RB, Detroit Lions
Johnson only saw two carries in Sunday's loss to the Green Bay Packers, but on the second one, he fought his way across the goal line for a 2-yard touchdown which made it a one-possession game midway through the fourth quarter. Johnson also caught one pass for 10 yards. The third-year running back now has three total touchdowns on the season and 11 for his career. 


Braden Smith, OL, Indianapolis Colts
A week after slowing down J.J. Watt, Smith shined yet again in Sunday's 44-27 victory of the Las Vegas Raiders. The second-year right tackle paved the way up front and helped the Colts rush for 212 yards and average 6.8 yards per carry. The offensive line also did not allow a sack, and in 12 games this season, Smith has yet to allow a sack. He's currently ranked 14th among all NFL offensive tackles with an overall PFF grade of 81.1.
