It's all about the Pig-Skin pros this week

It took 2.5 years but Chris Board broke through with his first start on defense. That still only lead to seven snaps on defense, with 22 more on special teams. He turned his time against Big Big into a half-sack with a forced fumble for Baltimore.

Carson Wentz struggled to the tune of 123 yards passing with two touchdowns against the typically vulnerable Dallas defense. He added another 17 yards on the ground, still less than normal, in Philly's 23-9 win over Dallas. With the win, Wentz has his team atop the East.

Billy Turner continued his starting streak for Green Bay, this week at left tackle as he reached 325 straight snaps. Darrius Shepherd also continued to perform well for Green Bay, catching his one target and totaling 53 kick return yards.

On Monday night Joe Haeg got another start for Tampa, his second straight. He ended up getting on the field for 14 plays with Tom Brady & another five of special teams.

The other five had a quiet weekend.

Kyle Emanuel & Ben Ellefson were on their bye.

Derrek Tuszka went through his first week on injured reserve.

Zach Johnson remained on the practice squad for Green Bay.

Easton Stick remained the backup but did not get on the field.
