Redskins linebacker Ryan Kerrigan was a dominant force throughout Sunday's huge victory over the Giants, earning this week's Bridgestone Performace Player of the Week honors.
Ryan Kerrigan knows, perhaps better than anyone else on the Redskins’ roster, how important it is to rattle Eli Manning’s cage if you want any sort of success against the Giants quarterback.
If you give Manning any sort of extended time to throw the ball, he is perfectly capable of slicing and dicing an opposing defense.
So after a disappointing performance from a pass-rush perspective Week 3 against Manning and the Giants at MetLife Stadium, Kerrigan brought his A-game Sunday at FedExField, sacking Manning twice and being a common visitor to the backfield in the Redskins’ 20-14 victory that catapulted them to first place in the NFC East.
