Champ - D'Andre Swift for his performance against the Washington Commanders. The Lions shut down Washington's defensive front and found explosive plays across the field. The Commanders rarely found D'Andre Swift and Amon-Ra St. Brown before it was too late.
Chump - Scottie Hazelton. Why didn't the Michigan State defense show up at Washington? Penix completed 24 of 40 passes and just missed posting the eighth 400-yard passing game in Washington history. He was at his best in the first half, making 18 of 24 attempts for 278 yards and leading Washington to touchdowns on four of its five possessions.
