Rey Maualuga, LB, Bengals - 10 tackles (9 solo) and a sack
Upon returning from a sprained MCL in his left knee, Maualuga reclaimed his role at the center of the Bengals' defense flying around for a season-high 9 solo tackles in a dominant performance. The USC All-American added his first sack of the year as the Bengals held the Chargers to 10 points. Now in his fifth year, Maualuga is the leader of one of the NFL's best defenses which has pushed Cincinnati to the top of the AFC North.(Photo via USA Today)
