USC's representatives in the NFL have continued to make an impact all over the field this season. Through six weeks, two Trojans (Leonard Williams and Nick Perry) rank in the Top 10 in sacks, while others lead their teams in certain categories (Robert Woods' 239 receiving yards are the most on the Bills).
The Best
Cody Kessler had his best NFL performance to date, going 26-of-41 for 336 pass yards, 2 TD and 0 INT on Sunday. Though the Browns couldn't top the Titans in Nashville, Kessler's showing was among the best of all QBs in Week 6. Only three signal callers threw for more yards than Kessler this weekend, and they all have Super Bowl rings (Drew Brees, Eli Manning and Tom Brady). Kessler's performance earned him a nomination for the NFL's Rookie of the Week.
