Winner: Cameron Wake, EDGE

Welcome to the Tennessee Titans Mr. Cameron Wake.

The man who many thought was too old to really help the Titans on defense ended the day with 2.5 sacks and a safety. He was truly a nightmare for the Cleveland Browns offense despite playing a situational role and maybe only having snaps somewhere in the teens.

After all the talk about how good the Cleveland Browns were and how they were going to destroy the Tennessee Titans offensive line, it was Wake who dominated and looked like the best player on either side of the ball.

I think being a designated pass rusher is clearly the right role for Wake at this point career and with how Finch played on run downs, I expect this to clearly be how he is used going forward.

People were trying to figure out how to get out of that contract as soon as the Titans signed him, but right now he is the DMVP. Oh, and by the way he had more sacks today than Brian Orakpo and Derrick Morgan combined for in 1,800+ snaps in 2018.

Oh and P.S. he also now has 100.5 sacks for his career.
