Auburn Made: Week 10 NFL Rundown

Auburn Made: Week 10 NFL RundownAuburn Made: Week 10 NFL Rundown

It was a strong week for the Auburn Made crew led by Jamien Sherwood, Derrick Brown and Braden Smith who all graded out at 80 or higher on PFF.

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

BEST OF WEEK 10

Derrick Brown, DT, Carolina Panthers
It was another monster performance from Brown on Thursday night. He racked up 10 tackles, including two for a loss against the Chicago Bears. It was the most tackles he's had in one game this season and the second most he's had in a game in his NFL career. Brown finished with a PFF grade of 82.7, good for second highest on the defense. 

Jamel Dean, CB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
With Carlton Davis out, Dean was tasked with locking down DeAndre Hopkins on Sunday, and he delivered. Hopkins finished with just three catches for 27 yards on eight targets. As a team, the Bucs kept Tennessee out of the end zone in a 20-6 victory. Dean had five tackles on the day and a pass break-up. His PFF grade (69.7) was fifth highest on the defense. 

Roger McCreary, CB, Tennessee Titans  
After missing the last two games due to a hamstring injury, McCreary returned Sunday and jumped right back in with an interception midway through the first quarter. The pass was a deep shot to the end zone, and McCreary leaped in front of the wide receiver and snagged it. It was his first interception of the season and the second of his NFL career. He also added five tackles and an additional pass break-up on a critical third down. 
 


Jamien Sherwood, LB, New York Jets 
Making his first start of the season, Sherwood had maybe his best game as a pro Sunday night against the Las Vegas Raiders. The third-year player finished with seven tackles, a pass break-up, and his forced fumble in the fourth quarter turned the game and gave the Jets the ball down 4. His seven tackles matched a career high, a total he set earlier this season, and Sherwood led all Jets this week with a PFF grade of 91.8.
 


Braden Smith, OT, Indianapolis Colts
Smith, who had missed the last four games due to hip and wrist injuries, picked up right where he left off against the New England Patriots on Sunday. Earning an overall PFF grade of 80.8, Smith had the highest run blocking grade on the team at 80.1. He had a pass-blocking grade of 76.8 after allowing only one pressure on 28 pass plays. For the season, Smith ranks as the No. 10 offensive tackle in football per PFF.
