Unfortunately this got wiped out due to a holding on Brown, but Thuney folded Alonso up like a beach chair:🥞 pic.twitter.com/utlt4atlDY

Defensive End BJ Hill is listed as a starter on the Giants Depth Chart, but for the second straight week it appears he came off the bench. Also, for the second straight week, Hill picked up a SACK.

Linebacker Bradley Chubb (Starter) had 2 tackles and 2 QB Hits in the Broncos 23-27 loss to the Chiefs last night. Also, he did this dance after the Chiefs were called for a false start. Chubb doing Chubb.

Defensive Tackle Justin Jones picked up 2 tackles as a reserve in the Chargers 29-27 victory over the 49ers.

Ask and ye shall receive. A little Justin Jones for your viewing pleasure. He’s lined up over LG, drives him three yards into backfield to force cut back, sheds him, closes and finishes. Shows of some serious power. pic.twitter.com/jdBmQGAzks
