The push for the playoffs begins
No awards the last two weeks for the former Syracuse Orange players-turned-pro, but a couple of players are emerging as key starters. Keep scrolling for the details…
Matthew Bergeron (Atlanta Falcons) – Returned to the starting line-up and recorded strong pass-blocking grades against Tampa Bay and Dallas. So far this year, Bergeron has an overall grade of 65.3 per PFF
Andre Cisco (Jacksonville Jaguars) – Cisco had three tackles against Green Bay then came back with two stops against Philadelphia.
Tommy DeVito (New York Giants) – As the Giants season continues to unravel, we’ll see if DeVito gets another opportunity to deliver the cutlets in MetLife.
Riley Dixon (Denver Broncos) – Dixon had three punts with a 51 yard average and two inside the 20 against the Panthers. He had two punt for a 48 yard average against the Ravens last week. At some point Sean Payton will let Dixon throw a pass off a fake.
Zaire Franklin (Indianapolis Colts) – Zaire had eleven tackles (one for loss) against the Texans. He came back last weekend with nine tackles and an interception against the Vikings.

Trishton Jackson (Minnesota Vikings) – Has not seen game action since Week 3.
Ifeatu Melifonwu (Detroit Lions) – Iffy didn’t play against the Packers, so we’ll see if he’s back this week against Houston.
Sean Tucker (Tampa Bay Buccaneers) – Tucker didn’t get a lot of action against Atlanta as he only got two carries to go along with one reception. He followed that up with three carries for 11 yards and one catch on Monday night against the Chiefs.
Garrett Williams (Arizona Cardinals) – Recorded four tackles against the Dolphins and then had five tackles and two passes defended against the Bears.
Be sure to check back every other week throughout the fall as we recap the latest pro Orange performances.
