A strong week for the defense meant a long week for the offense.
Here are my choices for the top performers from Week 3:
QB: Matt Fink -- playing within system, reading the field well
TB: Vavae Malepeai -- runs hard, finding holes
WR: Michael Pittman -- determined, added strength surfacing on 50-50 balls
TE: Erik Krommenhoek -- reliable, best blocking TE
OL: Austin Jackson -- improved upper-body strength, dominating 1-on-1s
DL: Christian Rector -- fits better in new alignment, rushes downhill
LB: John Houston -- making more plays, seamless transition to MLB
CB: Chase Williams -- getting his hands on a lot of balls, super utility DB
S: Isaiah Pola-Mao -- budding leader, knows the system
Newcomer of the week: QB Kedon Slovis -- moves the chains, has timing down
