PLAYER OF THE GAME
Safety Thomas Harper put together an impressive performance on limited snaps, notably an interception and a sack, but given Ameer Abdullah‘s higher snap count, he gets the “Player of the Game” distinction for this game.
Abdullah picked up 115 yards and five first downs on the ground and impressively forced eight missed tackles on his 20 carries. He also picked another two first downs from his three receptions that resulted in 32 receiving yards.
