Auburn Made: Week 7 NFL rundown

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

It was a reunion of sorts for Auburn rookies Derick Hall and Owen Pappoe who played against each other for the first time Sunday in Seattle. 


That and more in this week's Auburn Made NFL rundown. 

BEST OF WEEK 7

Montravius Adams, DT, Pittsburgh Steelers
A starter in every game this season, Adams has become a mainstay on the Pittsburgh defensive line. On Sunday, he started once again and matched his season high with four tackles to aid the Steelers in a 24-17 win. It was just the third time in the last four seasons that Adams has registered four or more tackles in a game with two coming this year. 

Angelo Blackson, DL, Jacksonville Jaguars 
Though Blackson didn't recover a fumble this week – he had three recoveries in the team's first six games – he played maybe his best game of the season Thursday night to help the Jaguars knock off the New Orleans Saints 31-24. The eighth-year veteran set a new career high with six tackles, including five solo, and had two tackles for loss. 

Jamel Dean, CB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
On the same week Blackson set a new career high in tackles, Dean did the same with an impressive 10 tackles against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. Now in his fifth season with the Buccaneers, his previous career high was 9 against Dallas in 2021. Dean also recovered a fumble Sunday, the first fumble recovery of his career, to keep the Falcons from scoring before halftime. With his performance, he earned a PFF grade of 81.2. 


Rudy Ford, S, Green Bay Packers
Ford continued to make his presence known for Green Bay's defense with another strong game against the Denver Broncos on Sunday. He racked up seven tackles, four of which were solo, and finished with a PFF grade of 69.7. Ford now has seven or more tackles in each of the last five games and ranks second on the team with 42 tackles on the season.
