Monday Morning Awards: Week 17 vs. Raiders

The Maniac had one of his best games of the season against the Raiders, and he more than made up for the missed game last week. Leonard finished the game with 7 tackles, a forced fumble, and a key interception, showing once again why he is one of the most dangerous linebackers in football. The one thing that went wrong for Leonard yesterday, is how he missed a free sack on Derek Carr that would have pushed the Raiders way out of field goal range on 3rd and long. If Leonard makes the sack, then the Colts are still in the game, but he bit on the pump fake by Carr and the rest is history.
