Running backs Peyton Barber and Kerryon Johnson both rushed for season highs on Thanksgiving while linebacker Josh Bynes played his best game of the season Sunday. That and more in this week's NFL rundown.
BEST OF WEEK 12
Peyton Barber, RB, Washington Football Team
Teammate Antonio Gibson rushed for 115 yards and three touchdowns, but Barber also feasted on the Dallas Cowboys with a season-high 57 yards on 11 carries in a 41-16 victory on Thanksgiving. Barber's long carry of the day went for 15 yards, and his 5.18 yards per carry were the most in a game since 2018. The fifth-year running back now has 184 total yards and two touchdowns on the season.

Josh Bynes, LB, Cincinnati Bengals
Bynes has started every game for the Bengals, but Sunday might have been his productive gane of the season. The veteran linebacker finished with seven tackles, one tackle for loss, one QB hit and two pass deflections. Though it was first two pass deflections of the season, Bynes is ranked 19th at the linebacker position in coverage with a PFF grade of 70.1. He's also third on the team with 64 tackles through the first 11 games.
Marlon Davidson, DL, Atlanta Falcons
Davidson matched his career high with four tackles in Sunday's 43-6 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. His 25 snaps on defense were the most since week three when he played 32 snaps and also had four tackles. Between a knee injury and being placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list, Davidson has only played in five games this season, but the Falcons still have high hopes for their rookie defensive lineman.
Kerryon Johnson, RB, Detroit Lions
Like Barber, Johnson also rushed for a season high on Thanksgiving with 46 yards on 11 carries. He also caught four passes for 52 yards. His 98 total yards were the most he's accounted for in a game since September 2019 when he had 157 against the Chiefs. On the season, Johnson is averaging 3.72 yards per carry and 10.86 yards per reception. He ranks fourth among all NFL running backs in pass blocking with a PFF grade of 84.3.
