Baltimore Ravens

Buffalo Bills
With 11 total pressures on the week, nobody had more in Week 7 than Greg Rousseau.

After posting a 48.3 grade in his first three NFL starts, Caleb Williams has responded in his next three with an 80.5 score.

Dallas Cowboys
Even with the Cowboys on a bye, CeeDee Lamb has retained his spot in terms of yards against man coverage (280).
Denver Broncos
Zach Allen extended his lead in terms of total pressures for interior defensive linemen. He’s up to 39, which would rank third regardless of position.
