Xavier Rhodes – WINNER
Line up against Dez Bryant one-on-one all game long – that’s a task not many cornerbacks would accept with open arms. Xavier Rhodes is the exception. He seems to always love a challenge, and he had another big game in week 13.
Dez Bryant had 4 catches for 84 yards and a touchdown.
Those stats don’t quite show the success that Rhodes had against the Cowboys. Bryant only had two catches for 23 yards when Rhodes was up against him.
Xavier Rhodes has accepted the challenges of guarding each teams’ #1 receiver all season long, and he hasn’t had much of a problem in doing so. In the next 4 games, the Vikings could use continued success from their #1 cornerback to help them find victories.
