2. Austin Booker

The Chicago Bears really need to find some pass-rush help. With Montez Sweat and Jacob Martin sitting we got to see fringe roster guys such as Dominique Robinson, Austin Booker, and Daniel Hardy. 

Of the three, Booker was the one to make the most of his opportunities, compiling 2.5 sacks. Now, this is a great development, but it is worth noting he did not sack Josh Allen, and one of his sacks came somewhat late into the fourth quarter. 

Also, Booker did not start over Dominique Robinson, showing the rookie has to climb the depth chart. He just did that today. It was expected, and it was going to happen eventually, but after his first sack led to 1.5 more, Booker will officially be ahead of Dominique Robinson on the depth chart and will be the first backup if Sweat or DeMarcus Walker gets hurt.
