Balling: Rodney McLeod

McCleod looks like he has been playing in Philly for years. The leadership and intelligence just jump out at you when you watch him play, Sunday was no different. McLeod recorded the only interception of the game and made play after play.

He came up and helped stop the run. He made big time tackles on third down and pretty did everything else you can ask of him. McLeod played sideline to sideline in a big win where the defense stepped up big with a forced safety, three sacks, and a turnover.
