Hometown: LaSalle, Ontario
NFL Team: Seattle Seahawks
Position: Tight End
Up Next: at Los Angeles Rams

Luke Willson wasn't used often in Seattle's 46-18 win against Indianapolis, but he was effective when he was. The tight end had just one catch on Sunday night, but it was a six-yard touchdown grab, his second TD of the season. Russell Wilson went 21-of-26 for 295 yards, finding eight receivers in the win. 

Laurent Duvernay-Tardif

Hometown: Mont-Saint-Hilaire, Quebec
NFL Team: Kansas City Chiefs
Position: Offensive Guard
Up Next: at Houston Texans

The right guard left Monday's game against Washington with a knee injury in the first quarter. He left the stadium on crutches and a Tuesday MRI determined he has a sprained MCL, which might force him to miss this week's game.

Jon Ryan

Jon Ryan

Hometown: Regina, Saskatchewan
NFL Team: Seattle Seahawks
Position: Punter
Up Next: at Los Angeles Rams

Jon Ryan punted only once on Sunday night, which is always a good sign for an offense. His kick went 35 yards and landed inside the 20 in the Seahawks' 46-18 victory.

Tyrone Crawford

Tyrone Crawford

Hometown: Windsor, Ontario
NFL Team: Dallas Cowboys
Position: Defensive Line
Up Next: vs. Green Bay Packers

Tyrone Crawford and the Cowboys didn't have an answer for Rams running back Todd Gurley, who finished with 215 all-purpose yards and a touchdown in his team's 35-30 win. Crawford had but one solo tackle in the contest.  

Eli Ankou

Hometown: Ottawa, Ontario
NFL Team: Jacksonville, Jaguars
Position: Defensive Line
Up Next: at Pittsburgh Steelers

The Jaguars nearly tied with the New York Jets on Sunday afternoon, but fell just short after Chandler Catanzaro kicked a 41-yard field goal with 28 seconds left in overtime. Eli Ankou had one tackle in the loss, receiving credit for half a tackle for a loss. However, the Jets offense shined in the win. Running backs Bilal Powell and Elijah McGuire combined for 256 total yards, each scoring a touchdown, and the receiving core gained 255.

LP Ladouceur

L.P. Ladoucuer

Hometown: Montreal, Quebec
NFL Team: Dallas Cowboys
Position: Long Snapper
Up Next: vs. Green Bay Packers

L.P. Ladouceur wasn't used often in the Cowboys 35-30 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Kicker Dan Bailey went just 1-of-1, drilling a 34-yard field goal, but hit all three of his extra point attempts, and punter Chris Jones had just three kicks.

Brett Jones

Hometown: Weyburn, Saskatchewan
NFL Team: New York Giants
Position: Center
Up Next: vs. Los Angeles Chargers

Tampa Bay snuck past New York 25-23 on Sunday, and Brett Jones and the Giants are still looking for their first win of the season. New York's running game struggled, only putting up 91 total yards. Through the air, though, the Giants looked better. Quarterback Eli Manning went 30-of-49 for 288 yards and threw two touchdowns, finding eight receivers. Odell Beckham Jr. had seven receptions for 90 yards in the loss. 

David Onyemata

David Onyemata

Hometown: Lagos, Nigeria
NFL Team: New Orleans Saints
Position: Defensive Tackle
Up Next: BYE

It took them a while, but New Orleans pulled ahead finally in London to beat Miami 20-0 at Wembly Stadium. David Onyemata had just one tackle in the win, a sack on Dolphins quarterback Jay Cutler. Cutler put up just 164 yards and was sacked four times in the loss. The Saints stifled the Dolphins' run game, too, holding them to just 58 total yards on the ground.

TJ Jones

TJ Jones

Hometown: Winnipeg, Manitoba
NFL Team: Detroit Lions
Position: Wide Receiver

The Lions put up 11 points in the second half in Minneapolis, all while holding the Vikings scoreless, to give them a 14-7 win against their division rival. TJ Jones had three receptions for 33 yards in the win. He was targeted five times. Quaterback Matthew Stafford went 19-of-31 for 209 yards in the win, and running back Ameer Abdullah had 20 carries for 94 yards and scored the team's lone touchdown. 

Christian Covington

Hometown: Vancouver, British Columbia 
NFL Team:  Houston Texans
Position: Defensive Tackle

The Houston Texans dominated Tennessee on Sunday afternoon, putting up 57 points behind five Deshaun Watson touchdowns. Christian Covington had two tackles in the win, one by himself, while the Texans defense held the Titans' rushing attack to just 86 yards and their aerial attack to only 117 yards. The defense also forced five turnovers, recovering a fumble and grabbing two interceptions off both quarterbacks Marcus Mariota and Matt Cassel.
