Ryan Kerrigan- It was another “Heartbreak Kid” pose-striking day for Ryan Kerrigan. On 26 pass-rushing snaps, he recorded 2 sacks, pressured Eli Manning a total of 7 times and forced Ereck Flowers to commit a holding penalty. He made 5 total tackles on the night (3 solo and 2 assists).
This was Kerrigan’s second 2-sack game of the season (Week 8 vs. Dallas), and the 11th such game of his career. Dexter Manley (23) and Charles Mann (13) are the only Redskins who have ever recorded 2 or more sacks in a game more than Kerrigan has.
The 2 sacks against Eli and the Giants brought his 2017 total to 9. Those sacks made him one of just five players to ever record at least 7.5 sacks in each of their first seven seasons. The four others (Jared Allen, Derrick Thomas, DeMarcus Ware and Reggie White) are all either already in the Hall of Fame or headed there in the very near future.
He also tied Dexter Manley with the most 7.5-sack seasons in franchise history.
Kerrigan was PFF’s highest graded player in the game (87.9).
Preston Smith- Don’t ask me how, but Preston “Houdini” Smith pulled one of his famous 2016 disappearing acts and failed to record a single traditional statistic on his 41 defensive snaps. This was the third time in his career Smith has not recorded any tackles, sacks, hits, PDs or turnovers of any kind in a game.
I suppose he can at least take some solace in the fact that he was able to get a little bit of pressure on Eli Manning.
Junior Galette- This was easily one of Junior Galette’s best games as a member of the Redskins.
He recorded his first full sack since 2014 on a Giants’ fourth-down attempt late in the fourth quarter. Galette forced a fumble on the play too, and he did all this while being held by Ereck Flowers. And believe it or not, but that was the first sack allowed by Flowers in his last 9 games and 348 pass-blocking snaps.
This wasn’t the only time Junior hit Eli Manning despite being held by Flowers. He also did it on the Giants’ final offensive play of the game, just moments before Kendall Fuller intercepted Manning’s pass.
Galette earned an 83.7 PFF grade for his work as a pass rusher against the Giants, which was the third highest rating on the team.
He has recorded multiple quarterback hits in back-to-back games and is now up to 10 hits on the season (4th on the team).
Ryan Anderson- The rookie second rounder saw his snap percentage drop for the third consecutive week (20.5% > 19.7% > 18.3% > 14%).
Anderson only made 1 solo tackle in the game, which came on a 9-yard Giants’ rush. He’s not posting high totals, but at least he’s consistently finding his way onto the stat sheet now. After only recording a traditional stat in one game between Weeks 1 and 8, he has made a tackle in four straight games (1 tackle in each game).
Unfortunately, he failed to pressure the opposing signal caller for eighth time this season.
Chris Carter- Carter did not take a defensive snap for the seventh consecutive game. He only plays on special teams. The team would probably go out and sign somebody else before they would give him defensive snaps again.
