Pierre Desir, Braden Smith, Anthony Walker All Earn Spot On Pro Football Focus' 'NFL Team Of The Week'

[Blue]

Linebacker No. 1 (93.2), 50 snaps (71 percent)


This was a star performance by the Colts' MIKE linebacker, who racked up 10 tackles, 1.0 sack, one interception, one pass breakup and one quarterback hit. His six "stops," which PFF considers to be a forced "failure" for the offense, was tied for the second most among all defensive players in Week 16. He allowed an average of just 6.0 yards on five allowed receptions en route to the highest PFF grade of his career. Per PFF:


"Walker earned a career-high 93.2 overall grade in Week 16 for a performance that included six defensive stops and an interception. The pick was an excellent play, as Walker carried the deep post across the field and made the play on Will Grier’s scramble drill."
