Breeland definitely (and I eat some crow for saying he was basically a scrub. Anyone that can hang with Dez is legit)
but honorable mention goes to Meriweather. I've called for his head since last season but for the first time in a long time (maybe ever) dude played LIGHTS OUT. How many forced fumbles did he have? 2? 2 sacks? A fumble recovery? He was great.
2 sacks and 2 forced fumbles, adding him to the poll.

Hey, I don't know that this will turn into a playoff run or anything; but enjoy this. As a Skins' fan, this is a feeling we don't get often. What an AWESOME game. So tense, just to go in there and beat them was awesome. So pumped. Even if we can turn this into a 7-9 or 8-8 type season from here, this really could be a big point for Gruden. I know we won last week, but this really seemed like the first time since the Eagles game that these guys just came out and BATTLED. By the end of it I just wanted the game so bad for the players. Doesn't happen often, but great night to be a Redskins fan.
Game ball though, it's Breeland. Don't even think its close. McCoy did his job, and I'm very happy for him, but Breeland was great.

Breeland balled out. I like the Amerson Breeland combo. I still expect some growing pains throughout the year, but Breeland gets the game ball tonight. Trent Murphy looked good for his first nfl start.
Offense worried me with all the "almost" fumbles.I thought that was going to be an issue, but turned out alright. Just a little concerning. Overall though....the beer tasted better tonight than it has in a while.

Breeland . . . No brainer.
Shoutout to Reilly, he doesn't deserve to be on this list, but he played much better tonight.

Keenan Robinson could be considered, too. 10 total tackles and the sack that put Romo out.

Breeland, clearly, then Merriweather. OK, Hazlett, too (can't believe I said that).
How about the O-line keeping McCoy clean? Who would have thought that?
Maybe starting Compton on the right side helped....

Probably keeping press conference schedules and whatnot, I mean if NFL fines people for wearing the wrong short, I'm sure they're sticklers for pressers.

Gruden called a good game too.

Haslett, his game plan was spot on. He got after Romo all night long and didn't back off. Maybe his best called game since he's been here.
