Week 15 Top 5

1. Christian Harris

Houston Texans rookie linebacker Christian Harris played easily the best game of young career, tallying 14 tackles, including three for loss (both career highs). The third round pick tied for the second-most tackles in the NFL in week 15.

2. Pat Surtain II

Broncos cornerback Pat Surtain II caught the game-sealing interception against the Arizona Cardinals, ending Denver's five-game losing streak. "PS2" also held his own while shadowing Arizona Cardinals three-time Pro Bowl receiver DeAndre Hopkins. Surtain has allowed fewer than 35 yards in 11 games this season, per PFF.

3. Jalen Hurts

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts struggled in the first half by throwing his fourth and fifth interceptions of the season. However, he still threw for 315 yards and ran into the endzone three times.

4. Derrick Henry

Tennessee Titans running back rushed for 104 yards and a touchdown. The 2015 Heisman Trophy winner also led Tennessee in receptions (4) and receiving yards (59).

5. DeVonta Smith

Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith hauled in 5-of-8 targets for 126 yards against the Chicago Bears.

Other notable performances

  • Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle scored his first touchdown since week 9 after a 67-yard catch-and-run against the Buffalo Bills. Waddle finished with 114 receiving yards in the blizzard.
  • Despite only completing 17-of-30 passes, Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa threw for 234 yards and two touchdowns.
  • Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris rushed for 86 yards and a touchdown in a 24-16 victory over the Carolina Panthers. Harris had more rush attempts (24) than quarterback Mitch Trubisky had pass attempts (22).
  • Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. angrily ran for 89 yards on just 12 carries. That's over seven yards per carry!
  • Falcons linebacker Rashaan Evans led the team in tackles with 10, including one for loss and a sack. This is the 10th game that the offseason free agent has finished with double-digit tackles.
  • Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy led Denver in receptions (7) and receiving yards (76).
  • Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs continued his NFL rushing leader campaign after adding 93 yards to the season total against the New England Patriots.

Monday night injury updates

  • Jalen Hurts sprained his shoulder against the Chicago Bears and it is uncertain if he will play against the Dallas Cowboys on Saturday. However, it is unlikely to be a long-term injury, per ESPN's Adam Schefter.
  • Jacksonville Jaguars offensive tackle Cam Robinson tore his meniscus against the Cowboys and is out for the remainder of the season, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport

Pro Bowl Voting

Several Crimson Tide Products received the most Pro Bowl votes at their position. Tua Tagovailoa led all NFL players.
