Auburn Made: Week 7 NFL rundownAuburn Made: Week 7 NFL rundown

In what was his first start of the season, cornerback Noah Igbinoghene made the play of the night with a game-clinching interception for the Dolphins in primetime.   

That and more in this week's NFL rundown.   

BEST OF WEEK 7

Derrick Brown, DT, Carolina Panthers
The Panthers stunned Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this weekend, holding the offense to a single field goal in the 21-3 victory. Brown, a former first-round pick, was responsible for four tackles, three pressures and a QB hit. On the final play of the game, he tossed running back Rachaad White to the ground. Brown is ranked No. 7 among all interior defensive linemen with a season PFF grade of 89.1. 

Rudy Ford, S, Green Bay Packers
Despite only playing nine snaps on defense, Ford proved to be impactful in Sunday's contest with the Washington Commanders. The sixth-year player made four tackles on those nine snaps and recorded the fifth highest PFF grade (77.4) on Green Bay's defense. Ford has been fantastic in limited action this season, earning an 82.2 grade from PFF.

Noah Igbinoghene, CB, Miami Dolphins
The timing could not have been more perfect for Igbinoghene's first NFL interception. In a tight 16-10 victory over the Steelers, Igbinoghene's critical catch came with 18 seconds remaining and the Steelers threatening to score. The interception sealed the win and snapped Miami's three-game losing streak. It was the first start of the season for the former first-round pick who racked up four tackles to match a career high. 


Roger McCreary, CB, Tennessee Titans  
McCreary, who was tagged questionable a few weeks ago, earned the highest PFF grade of his career (72.3) in Sunday's 19-10 victory over the Colts. For the first time since week two, the rookie cornerback lined up for the majority of his snaps on the outside. On 48 coverage snaps, he allowed just three receptions for 28 yards and was responsible for a forced incompletion on a pass breakup.  He also added five tackles. 


Darius Slayton, WR, New York Giants
Slayton made his presence known early Sunday afternoon, catching a 32-yard touchdown pass on the game's opening drive. It was the first touchdown of the season for Slayton who finished with three grabs for 58 yards. With the Giants' wide receiver corps plagued with injuries, Slayton is pushing to the forefront at a go-to weapon for Daniel Jones.
