Wright lays out for a nice catch here, then gets a pat on the helmet from his former quarterback at Arkansas, Ryan Mallett.

Hunter Henry
Henry continues to be Philip Rivers’ favorite tight end target, as the second-year player hauled in four receptions for 73 yards, including a 34-yard catch on San Diego’s first offensive play of the game. Three of his four catches went for at least 13 yards and a first down, pushing his first-down catch total to 15. Among NFL tight ends, Henry ranks in the top 10 in yards (9th – 301), 20-plus yard receptions (T-6th – 4) and first down receptions (T-8th – 15). He also ranks fourth in the league in first-down percentage among tight ends with at least 10 receptions at 71.4 percent. In the last three games, Henry has 12 receptions for 205 yards for an average of 17.1 yards per catch.
A.J. Derby
Derby led all receivers with six receptions for 66 yards, bringing his season total to 15 receptions for 190 yards and one touchdown. Eight of his receptions this season, including two on Sunday, have resulted in a first down.

Deatrich Wise, Jr.
Wise recorded two tackles in his second straight start. Wise has recorded at least one tackle in each of his first seven career professional contests, totaling 11 this season. Despite not recording a sack, Wise still ranks third in sacks among rookie defensive linemen with 3.5.
Jason Peters
Started his 164th game played dating back to the 2005 season but went down with a knee injury early in the third quarter. The nine-time Pro-Bowler is a well respected veteran not only on the Eagles, but in the league. Here is a show of support that players and fans gave Peters as he was leaving the field Monday night.
Alex Collins
Rushed for 30 yards on 10 carries to bring his season total to 365 yards on 62 carries. At 5.9 yards per carry, Collins continues to lead the NFL among running backs in rushing average with at least 40 carries. His four 20-yard runs ranks tied for second in the league.
Darius Philon
Recorded his first start of the season, third of his career. He finished with two total tackles to bring his season total to 15.
Robert Thomas
Matched his season total before entering the game, recording three tackles to bring his season total to six.
Martrell Spaight
Recorded one tackle on special teams.
Chris Smith played but did not record any stats, while Ryan Mallet, Darren McFadden, Jeremy Sprinkle and Brandon Allen were all inactive.
Two #ProHogs had the week off as Detroit’s Travis Swanson and Jeremiah Ledbetter were on a bye.
