Logan Ginter Drops League-Best Performance on Friday

On the season, Ginter has averaged 6.3 total tackles per game and for the season has 4 sacks. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 30.17 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 119.83 rushing yards.
