Detroit Lions linebacker Jarrad Davis earns Pro Football Focus’ team of the week honors for his Week 11 performance against the Dallas Cowboys.
Here’s their reasoning on why Davis was deserving of this week’s recognition:
“Davis was dominant in run defense against Ezekiel Elliott and the Cowboys on Sunday,” Pro Football Focus said. “He recorded three defensive stops, zero missed tackles, and a 94.9 run-defense grade.”
Elliott was held to 45 yards on 16 carries, for a well below his typical average of only 2.8 yards per attempt — he is averaging 4.3 yards per carry this season and 4.6 over his career.
Davis is coming off the best two-game stretch of his career, according to PFF-Detroit, “has earned an 89.7 overall, led by a strong presence in run defense. His 94.4 run defense grade is the best in the NFL in that span”
Davis joins several other Lions who have earned a spot on PFF’s team of the week, including:
