The Best
Everson Griffen, DE, VikingsThe pass rush specialist terrorized Philip Rivers to the point that the Chargers pulled their starting QB from the game to protect him. In all, Griffen registered five hits on the quarterback, including 1.5 sacks. He made six tackles (four solo and two for loss) and batted a pass away. Minnesota, which also features OT Matt Kalil and TE/FB Rhett Ellison is now 2-1 on the season after the convincing win.
