Unsung Hero of the Week: Sam Martin is back!

Sunday’s game against the Carolina Panthers didn’t go how most expected it to. It was a game of inches, more so than most football games. Darius Slay made the play of the game, chasing down D.J. Moore 90 yards and preventing points, as Graham Gano missed a field goal three plays later that would’ve likely led to a Panthers win.

That led to Slay being a prime candidate for this week’s award, but our lovely Jeremy Reisman took that play and ran with it for the Play of the Week award.
