Winners of the Week, Week 10

Hi, here are my weekly winners of the week. Some quick news that the Seahawks sign CB Byron Maxwell:

PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Adrian Clayborn, DE, Falcons

Statline: 6 sacks, 2 forced fumbles

A player that I have never mentioned once on my blog just had maybe the best single performance of any player yet this year. Clayborn record 6 sacks. I can't even explain how INSANE that is. 6 sacks is how much some players get in a single season. 4 sacks is considered an insane game, but 6, thats the most in SO long. Most NFL star DEs get 1-2 sacks per game, Clayborn just went out and got 6! I can't even with how crazy that is. Also he forced 2 fumbles. Could it get any crazier. 6 sacks and forced the Cowboys to fumble twice. The Falcons and Cowboys were both almost even on the predictions for who would win, but the Falcons ending up destroying because of Clayborn. Clayborn just went out and had the craziest single player performance of the season and most of you probably have never even heard of him. I knew his name but not much about him, now Clayborn is suddenly the player of the week on my blog. 

TEAM OF THE WEEK: Carolina Panthers (7-3)

Final Score: Panthers 45, Dolphins 21

While the Dolphins aren't a great team and can make a lot of teams just look good, the Panthers looked like their 2015-16 selfs again. Cam Newton played like an MVP again. He ended up with 4 TDs. He could lead the Panthers to a playoff run if he keeps playing like he did. The receiving core looked good. Cam Newton is finding his new WR1 without Kelvin Benjamin in Devin Funchess and I like it. He's looking like a stud. RB Christian McCaffrey had a nice 2 TD performance and is starting to find his role in this offense as the pass catching back. He is versatile and the Panthers are starting to find out how to use him. The Panthers D looked good too. They held the Dolphins O off and held them to 21 points. I was impressed by the Panthers and even though it could be a fluke playing against a bad team. They are currently sitting at 7-3 and at the 5th out of 6 NFC playoff seeds. With a divisional game against the Saints looming, they will need to keep playing how they are playing if they want a shot at leapfrogging the Saints and potentially getting a first round BYE seed. The Panthers had a great game and are coming together. They are my blogs team of the week!
