Nick Whiteside was breaking up passes left and right. Rock Ya-Sin was bouncier than ever, forcing incompletions on at least two passes that would've been makes had he not been feeling extra spry. Jack Campbell was an unstoppable force against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' run game. Arthur Maulet, Thomas Harper, and Amik Robertson were pests.
This was the defensive effort that took down one of the stronger teams in the NFC on Monday night in Week 7. Many of these players aren't starters. In fact, a few were getting their first ever NFL start in this contest due to injuries and the suspension of Brian Branch for one game.
