DE Jadeveon Clowney, Texans: After a quiet week, Clowney reminded everyone he’s still out there with a dominant performance against Jacksonville. He finished second on the team with seven tackles, all of them solo, two sacks, two tackles for loss, FOUR quarterback hits, and a fumble recovery. Whew. Have a day, JD.
.@HoustonTexans @clownejd is my choice for DEF MVP through 7 weeks. Stats don’t tell the story. He disrupts every offense he faces and no one player or scheme can contain him. PERIOD! #BaldysBreakdowns pic.twitter.com/n5D5JaQMZy

WR Alshon Jeffery, Eagles: The Eagles may have lost in somewhat mind-boggling fashion, but Jeffery was the bright spot, finishing second on the team with seven receptions for 88 yards and a touchdown catch. What offseason surgery?
