Brandon Meriweather Sets Redskins Record

Gruden was asked about only the two cornerbacks, he threw in some appreciation for his strong safety as well.

“The guy who really didn’t get a lot of love was [Brandon] Meriweather,” he said. "He had probably his best game since I’ve been here. He had tackles. He had sacks. He had fumbles, fumble recoveries, forced fumble, he was all over the place so it was great to see him show up in a big way the way he did.”

Meriweather became the first Redskins defensive player to record two sacks, two forced fumbles, and a fumble recovery in one game. 

Meriweather finished with seven tackles, two sacks, two tackles for loss, two forced fumbles, one fumble recovery and one quarterback hurry.
