Notable Week 10 Performances
TE Logan Thomas
Tight End Logan Thomas has developed into a consistent receiving option for young signal caller Sam Howell and the Washington Commanders. In the NFC East divisional game against the New York Giants, Thomas hauled in five passes for 58 yards and a long of 29 yards. Thomas has been a mainstay for the Commanders' offense and continues to be a veteran presence for the team.
LB Tremaine Edmunds
In the divisional game against the Detroit Lions, linebacker Tremaine Edmunds helped a Chicago Bears defense force three turnovers on Jared Goff. Edmunds intercepted a pass and registered a pass defense, creating mayhem for Detroit's passing attack. The sixth-year linebacker also tied for second on the team in tackles with seven, including four solo takedowns.
LB Divine Deablo
In an expanded role this season, linebacker Divine Deablo proves to be a strong presence on the second level for the Las Vegas Raiders. Against the Miami Dolphins, Deablo amassed seven tackles and registered an 80.8 tackle grade, according to Pro Football Focus (PFF), his highest PFF grade since week 5.
K Joey Slye
When in doubt, you can count on the kicker, and Joey Slye has been as consistent as they come for the Commanders. In the divisional matchup, Slye connected on both his field goals, the first of which was the team's first points, a 23-yarder. The second was from 42 yards out in the third quarter, a kick that helped bring the Commanders within two points.Gallery: (11-22-2023) FB: NFL Hokies (Regular Season Week 12)
