We’re now 9 weeks into the season and the playoff picture is starting to open up.
The major contributors:
Branden Albert, Miami Dolphins – The Dolphins had just 274 total yards, but it was enough to beat the Jets. They did average 4.3 yards per rush, which is solid and gave up just 1 sack.
Ahmad Brooks, San Francisco 49ers – The Niners start a pair of Hoos as their OLBs, but their defense is not good. The visiting Saints put up almost 600 yards of offense. Brooks had 3 tackles.
Eli Harold, San Francisco 49ers – Harold had 4 tackles (see Brooks, above).
