#NFLBuffs: Thompson And Lindsay Lead The Charge In Week Five
October 09, 2019 | Football
It was a strong performance all around for our #NFLBuffs this week, with the biggest highlight coming from Seahawks safety Tedric Thompson.
Thompson made an early interception-of-the-year candidate against the Rams on Thursday night as he showed incredible focus on a tipped pass from Rams quarterback Jared Goff. Thompson added three tackles, two of which were solo, and one pass breakup to his performance helping the Seahawks defeat the Rams 30-29.
How did Tedric Thompson pick this?!

That might be the most low-key game-winning interception I've ever seen. Tedric Thompson may have sealed this for the #Seahawks.
