Vikings wideout Stefon Diggs racked up another 55 yards on Sunday as he inches closer to his first career 1,000 yard season. Diggs currently sits at 861 yards.
His three receptions brings his season total to 78 catches, which ranks seventh in the NFL.
Diggs produced one of the most spectacular grabs of the weekend, hauling in a 45-yard diving catch down the middle of the field.
Check out this awesome article which features Vikings defensive backs weighing in on what makes Diggs so unstoppable.
Steelers rookie defensive back Sean Davis is really starting to develop into an NFL playmaker. He registered his first sack of his career, and combined with Stephon Tuitt on another sack en route to a 27-20 win over the Bills.
Davis also recorded seven tackles, which moves him into ninth place amongst rookie defensive backs.
Jaguars defensive end Yannick Ngakoue has continued to make a lot noise.. He forced his fourth fumble of the season in a 25-16 loss to the Vikings.
Eagles cornerback Nolan Carroll finished with four tackles in a 27-22 loss to Washington. Redskins tight end Vernon Davis caught one pass for one yard.
