He allowed zero total pressures across 45 pass-blocking snaps in the contest, as well. He enters Week 13 ranked inside the top-15 in overall grade among qualifying offensive tackles.

Nelson is a frequent flyer in PFF's weekly Team of the Week articles. The second-year Notre Dame product is on pace for one of the best two-year starts we at PFF have ever seen from a guard. Against the Texans on Thursday, Nelson earned a position-high 87.5 overall grade and allowed zero total pressures across 31 pass-blocking snaps.

C Ben Jones, Tennessee Titans

Jones led all centers in overall grade in Week 12 at 73.5. He allowed just one pressure across his 22 pass-blocking snaps and earned a top-five run-blocking grade among qualifiers at his position.

RT Morgan Moses, Washington Redskins

Moses was a road grader against Detroit on Sunday. He earned a 90.6 run-blocking grade, which is far and away his best single-game mark of the season. In fact, Moses hasn’t earned a single-game run-blocking grade above 90.0 since Week 6 of his 2017 campaign.

Defense

LB Fred Warner, San Francisco 49ers

Warner earned a 92.9 overall grade against Green Bay, recording three total pressures and nine defensive stops in the process.

LB David Mayo, New York Giants

One of few bright spots in the Giants’ 19-14 loss to Chicago, Mayo recorded a 92.4 overall grade across 36 defensive snaps on Sunday. He recorded six defensive stops and one pass breakup on his one target in coverage.

CB Desmond Trufant, Atlanta Falcons

Trufant allowed just one reception from three targets for eight yards and recorded a pass breakup. However, his best play was his interception in coverage against Mike Evans. He jumped in front of an ill-advised Jameis Winston pass for an easy pick early in the contest.
