Another very quiet week on the offensive side, that the skill position players haven't really done much, outside of maybe Rico Flores.
On the defensive side, Lorenzo Styles and Kennedy Urlacher are finally making some noise.
Offensive MVP's:
Pat Coogan for yet another solid outing, paving the way for a lot of stat padding by Mendoza
Defensive MVP's:
Lorenzo Styles
Kennedy Urlacher
Stats:
QB Drew Pyne, BGSU - NSR (bye). Injury status is still up in the air.

He was actually available for today's game, but was held out of action, probably out of caution.
