Stock up: Elvis Dumervil. Terrell Suggs, Pernell McPhee
It’s just too hard to pick between the three. All had an absolutely dominant pass rushing performance against the Bucs, racking up four sacks, five hits, and ten hurries between them. All three have also been consistently getting to the quarterback this season, but had yet to really bust out in the stat column prior to Sunday.

This was exactly the kind of game the defense needed to build confidence. While few offensive lines in the NFL are as bad as the Bucs, these guys took advantage like they should have. And McPhee played 41 snaps, which was his second most of the season. Hopefully the team will continue to increase his usage, though this was most likely a byproduct of a big early lead.
