Sweatman's rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 105 rushing yards.
Special teams also deserves some recognition, posting 11 points in total. The biggest highlight from special teams (and perhaps the team as a whole) came courtesy of Fisher Leftwich, who ran a kickoff back for a touchdown.
