Winner: Linebacker Kwon Alexander

It’s not every day a player records more than 20 tackles, Kwon finished with 21. The linebackers as a whole struggled today because Zeke ran all over this defense allowing 185 rushing yards and their first 100 yard rusher since Jordan Howard had 100 yards in week nine. But when you have 21 tackles in a game you are had a great game.

Kwon’s speed is a difference maker for this defense, and the team would’ve had no chance if he was unavailable for tonight’s game. He had ten assisted tackles and two tackles for a loss and was all over the field. Kwon was also in on the hit that forced a fumble from the future Hall of Famer Jason Witten. Kwon is the quarterback of the defense and deserves to be a captain next season.
