3. The Reality Is, Landon Collins is awake now.

For two straight games, Landon Collins has looked like his Pro Bowl self. He seems to be comfortable in the defense now and is making more instinctive plays. Apart from his bad guess to jump the slant route early on the Dolphins last touchdown, he played very, very well on Sunday, even garnering NFC Defensive Player of the Week honors.

He’s the type of player to build on that type of performance, and it’s reasonable to expect him to continue his trajectory of elite safety play this week.

My Prediction: Expect another 10-plus tackles and either a sack or a turnover.
