Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders have to be the best one-two wide receiver punch in the NFL. Both players made unreal catches against the Lions in primetime, and both of them are helping Peyton Manning mask his aging arm strength.

It was another solid day for the pass rush with the unit totaling four sacks, and the secondary continues to benefit from the heat the front seven provides. Bradley Roby and David Bruton each made outstanding picks of Matthew Stafford, and they owe their teammates up front dinner for the pressure they applied all game.
