October 10, 2018 | Football
Weekly Spotlight
Tedric Thompson – Seahawks Free SafetyThompson made his first NFL start for the Seahawks on Sunday and made the most of his opportunity. He recorded seven tackles and showcased his play making ability, snagging an interception in the end zone at the end of the second quarter to prevent the Rams from taking a lead into halftime. Thompson also laid an enormous hit on Rams WR Brandin Cooks that dislodged the ball, but was not credited with a forced fumble due to a penalty away from the play.
Phillip Lindsay – Broncos Running Back
Lindsay gained 100 all-purpose yards for the fourth time this season in the Broncos 34-16 loss to the Jets on Sunday, as he rushed for 61 yards on 12 carries, caught three-of-four targets for 20 yards and took one kickoff return 27 yards. He got off to a hot start, picking up 45 yards on four carries on the Broncos opening drive and while the team turned to the passing game after falling behind, Lindsay was the Broncos leader in carries and rushing yards for the second week in a row. Through five games, the undrafted Denver native leads all rookies in rushing with 328 yards and ranks second (behind Giants RB Saquon Barkley) in yards from scrimmage with 393.
