Game ball: Williams - without his performance there's no way we win, regardless of how well Orakpo plays. And, although his value was greater in other areas, that play where he road-graded the DB out of bounds was an absolute delight to watch.

Honorable mention: Orakpo - yeah, he's a beast, but he was facing a backup

Other comments:

Miles Austin is fast, shifty, gets open, AND has good hands. When he gets the ball he makes plays and gets downfield. I also thought he was a flash in the pan, but it's clear he's the best receiver in the division (for now). Just check out his highlights on youtube.

I agree with SS, Landry having 17 tackles is great, but those tackles are always there to be had in any game -- just turns out they normally go to DL/LB. So, maybe it's scheme, maybe it's a weak front, or maybe it's because Landry has gone to HoF status overnight. I'll go with the former for now, and hope for the latter.

Portis' 18 yard run late in the 4th quarter was textbook zone-blocking 1 cut running. I look forward to much more successful rushing as the season goes on.
