Weekly Spotlight

Falcons at Packers

Packers' left tackle David Bakhtiari played 64-of-65 offensive snaps in a 34-20 win over Atlanta. Green Bay kicker Mason Crosby made both field goal tries, including a 50-yarder, and was a perfect 4-of-4 on PATs. With Crosby's 10 points and Bakhtiari anchoring an offensive line that didn't allow a sack in the second half, Green Bay scored a season-high 34 points. Falcons' cornerback Isaiah Oliver recorded three tackles and a pass deflection in the game, despite playing just 19 defensive snaps.
 

Broncos at 49ers

Broncos' running back Phillip Lindsay rushed for 30 yards and a touchdown and added 21 receiving yards in a 20-14 loss to San Francisco. Lindsay ranks fourth in the NFL in rushing, with 967 yards through 13 games and still leads the league in yards per carry (5.8). 49ers' cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon recorded four tackles in the game. Witherspoon was also tight in coverage, helping hold the Broncos passing offense under 200 yards on the day.
