Wide Receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown
Who plays with more of a chip than Amon-Ra St. Brown? He said that he was "hot" about his pro bowl snub. He also alluded to those preseason goals we hear about.

"I don't know how many 1,500 yard receivers w/ 10 TDs didn't make a pro bowl? I guess I got to look that up and see." pic.twitter.com/0ojHBM4Ert
Amon-Ra St. Brown explains the TD here: they planned for that ball to go to Josh Reynolds, but he was wide open so they adjusted and here's what happened. pic.twitter.com/WqQnOZnrSb

Safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson
"We have two more banners to hang." CJ Gardner-Johnson had the game-sealing INT in his first game back. @CGJXXIII said making play, playing with intensity, and bringing energy is one thing, but there's a difference to be out there playing for your teammates. pic.twitter.com/EP9oGPRMnc
