PLAYER OF THE GAME
While Ezekiel Turner might have graded better, his lack of snaps played (15) enabled Tim Patrick to take this honor.
Patrick didn't accumulate a ton of yards, catching six of his seven targets for 43 receiving yards, but he made each count, as he totaled two touchdowns and three other first downs. He also totaled a 25.9% threat rate.
