In one of the absolutely most horrifically-officiated games I have ever witnessed (and that is saying something), there was one guy that was relentless all day long.  He was held the majority of plays, but NEVER backed off his insane effort while being held.  He made play after play.  He was fighting through an injured back.

Trey Hendrickson gets my game ball.  Dude was a wrecking crew.  

I loved in the post-game interview, he immediately gave credit to the DTs (named them all individually) about how well they play and allow Sam and him to rush off the edge.  

And although he doesn't get a game ball, a special tip of the hat to Markus Bailey.  With no Wilson and an injured Bachie, Bailey stepped up and was a force.  Had a half a sack, a pass defensed, and was a very solid piece that made the most of his opportunity.
