Sendejo has become a fixture in the Colts’ secondary, recovering a fumble and making six tackles in their Week 12 game against the Bucs.

Special Teams

Jack Fox – P, Lions

Fox punted six times on Thanksgiving Day, booting a 70-yard punt. He is one of only five NFL punters with a punt of that distance this season. For the day, he averaged a neat 50-yards on his attempts.
