Colts cornerback Xavier Rhodes
It had been a rough season for Colts cornerback Xavier Rhodes. He missed two games due to injury and struggled when he returned to the lineup, allowing quarterbacks to complete 76.5% of their passes against him according to pro-football-reference.com, including 14.2 yards per completion and a 130.5 passer rating. Then Rhodes limped off the field prior to Sunday's game. Then he returned to make the game-clinching interception.
