DeMarcus Lawrence - Cowboys
Lawrence had a huge day for the Dallas Cowboys, with three sacks for 21 yards taken away from the Lions. In addition, he had a total of six tackles for a stellar defensive performance in the Cowboys' close win over Detroit, 26-24.

Jadeveon Clowney - Texans
Houston also grabbed a very close win, 37-34 over the Indianapolis Colts. Clowney was instrumental in this game, as he sacked Luck twice, had four tackles and four QB hits, as well as a recovered fumble. Not a bad outing for the former No. 1 pick!

Reggie Nelson - DB, Raiders
Nelson didn't have a ton of plays, but it was his play toward the end of regulation that was clutch. Baker Mayfield lobbed a deep pass down field to get his team in scoring position as time was running down. However, Nelson picked off the pass to stop the potential game-winning drive. That forced overtime, where his Raiders ultimately won, 45-42 over the Browns.
Reggie Nelson picks off Mayfield!
