PFF Week 13 team of the week

DI SHY TUTTLE, NEW ORLEANS SAINTS
At first glance, one might think that the seldom-mentioned Shy Tuttle just stiff-armed quarterback Matt Ryan all the way into PFF Team of the Week contention. But, in reality, his game had a lot more to it than just his brilliant interception return on Thanksgiving Day. Asked to rush the passer 15 times in the game, Tuttle also recorded two quarterback hurries, and he produced a defensive stop against the run, too. The rookie interior defensive lineman ended the game with a career-high 87.6 pass-rush grade.

EDGE CAMERON JORDAN, NEW ORLEANS SAINTS
Saying that Cameron Jordan got the better of his Thanksgiving Day matchup would probably be an understatement. He rushed the passer 48 times throughout the game and came away with 10 total pressures, four of which were sacks. Thanks to back-to-back recovered onside kicks, the Falcons had an improbable opportunity to cause a stir late in the game last Thursday — but Jordan's excellence as a pass-rusher quickly and mercilessly shut down those hopes.

EDGE MARCUS DAVENPORT, NEW ORLEANS SAINTS
Opposite Jordan was second-year edge-rusher Marcus Davenport, who had an excellent game for the Saints in his own right. He rushed the passer 36 times on the night, totaling two sacks, a hit and two additional hurries, and he also added a stop in the run game.

S CHAUNCEY GARDNER-JOHNSON, NEW ORLEANS SAINTS
The Saints' rookie safety was all over the field on Thanksgiving Day, logging 15 snaps on the defensive line, six snaps in the box, 15 snaps at slot cornerback and one snap at free safety. He recorded three pressures from nine pass-rush snaps, logged an interception and added a defensive stop against the run for good measure. He left the game, deservedly, with an elite 90.1 PFF game grade.
