3. DL Dexter Lawrence

In the midst of a breakout season, Dexter Lawrence continued to impress this week against a strong Packers offensive line. Racking up five combined tackles, one sack, one tackle for loss, and one QB hit.

Lawrence has been the NY Giants most consistent pass rusher all season thus far, tallying three sacks, and eight QB hits in five games played.

The moment that really showed the difference Lawrence made was his sack of Aaron Rodgers on third down in the third quarter to push the Packers out of field goal range to keep the Giants within seven. Outside of this sack, Lawrence was all over the field, whether it be against the run, or chasing Rodgers in the pocket.

For the second consecutive week, Lawrence was arguably the NY Giants best defensive player on the field. Which shows, as Lawrence was recently crowned the highest graded defender in the NFC according to PFF.

If Lawrence manages to keep this level of play up, he will easily cement himself as a Pro-Bowler, and could even potentially make one of the All-Pro teams. The evolution he has had this season has truly been a blessing to watch.
