Anders Carlson came through with a clutch kick at Lambeau Field while Jonathan Jones earned high praise both on and off the field for the New England Patriots. 

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

BEST OF WEEK 13

Derrick Brown, DT, Carolina Panthers
Brown not only led Carolina's defense this week with a PFF grade of 91.3, but he earned the highest grade of any interior defensive lineman in the NFL for Week 13. He continued what has been a dominant campaign by posting a season best seven pressures against Tampa Bay. He finished the day with four tackles and two QB hits. Brown now has 64 tackles on the season, putting him just three away from his single season best (67) set last year. 

Anders Carlson, K, Green Bay Packers
With 1:14 left in the fourth quarter, Carlson took advantage of a pivotal opportunity and drilled a 48-yard field goal to extend Green Bay's lead to 8 – a lead the Packers would hang on to in a 27-19 win over the Kansas City Chiefs. It was another perfect day for the rookie kicker who also made a 40-yard field goal and all three extra points. Carlson is now 81 percent (17 of 21) on field goals this season and has yet to miss one under 40 yards. 


Jonathan Jones, CB, New England Patriots 
Jones played arguably his best game of the season Sunday, keeping the Chargers' Keenan Allen in check and helping hold Justin Herbert to just 212 yards passing on the day. Jones was also solid against the run, registering six tackles. His PFF grade of 78.4 was third highest on New England's defense and the highest grade he's recorded this year. Jones was also named the team's nominee for the 2023 Walter Payton Man of the Year Award.
