Keandre Lambert-Smith scored his first NFL touchdown with a 16-yard reception for the Los Angeles Chargers in their recent win over the Kansas City Chiefs. The touchdown, which was only his second career catch, came just before halftime and reduced the Chiefs’ lead to three points. This play contributed significantly to the Chargers’ 16–13 victory, a result that eliminated Kansas City from playoff contention and kept the Chargers in the AFC West race. Lambert-Smith played a career-high 21 snaps and received a season-best offensive grade.
Tank Bigsby helped power the Philadelphia Eagles’ ground game, rushing for 57 yards on 17 carries during a decisive 31–0 win against the Raiders. This performance marked his second-highest rushing total of the season and his most carries since Week 14 of last year. In his first season with Philadelphia and third overall, Bigsby has accumulated 237 rushing yards with an average of nearly six yards per carry.
Jamien Sherwood continued to be productive for the New York Jets, making eight tackles against Jacksonville—five of them solo—which placed him second on his team in both categories for that game. As captain this season, Sherwood now ranks seventh among all NFL players in total tackles and twenty-second in solo tackles after previously ranking near the top league-wide last year. He also improved key defensive grades this week and set a personal best with eight passes defended so far this season.
