The Colts defense was the story of Sunday’s dominant performance against the Jets, scoring two touchdowns and intercepting three passes, but Jonathan Taylor still made his mark on the game. He picked up 59 rushing yards and his second touchdown of the season on 13 carries, and he had a catch for 3 yards. Taylor is second among rookies with 182 rushing yards this season.

The Pittsburgh pass-rush, led by T.J. Watt, controlled the second half of their win over Houston on Sunday. In the third game ever where three brothers were on the field, T.J. got the best of the matchup, recording four tackles and a sack. T.J. Watt is second in the league with six tackles for loss, and tied for second with 3½ sacks.

Russell Wilson continues to show he’s among the best deep passers in the NFL. He posted another eye-popping stat line in Sunday’s win over the Cowboys, throwing for 315 yards, five touchdowns and no interceptions. He threw three touchdowns to Tyler Lockett, and another to D.K. Metcalf, who fumbled a would-be touchdown in the first half after celebrating too soon. Wilson leads the NFL with 14 passing touchdowns.

Ryan Ramczyk showed Sunday night why he’s the reigning All-Pro right tackle in the NFL. Against a strong pass-rusher in Green Bay’s Za’Darius Smith, Ramczyk was solid all night. He allowed just one pressure and didn’t allow a sack. New Orleans fell to the Packers, but Ramczyk showed why he’s one of the best tackles in the league.

Joe Schobert continues to rack up tackles for the Jaguars, tallying eight in his team’s loss to the Miami Dolphins on Thursday. Schobert is tied for 15th in the league with 33 total tackles. Thursday’s game wasn’t as good for another former Badger — linebacker Leon Jacobs tore his ACL and is out for the remainder of the season.

The Cowboys suffered their second tough loss of the season, but former Badgers center Tyler Biadasz got the first extended action of his career. Biadasz, last year’s Rimington Trophy winner, entered the game late in the second quarter and played the rest of the way. With Biadasz in the lineup, Dallas scored two second-half touchdowns and tallied a field goal. Dallas hasn’t announced its O-line for Week 4, but Biadasz may be in line for his first NFL start soon.
