NFL Week 13 is complete. Let’s take a look and see how a few of our U.S. National Team alums performed and where their teams stand heading into Week 14.

Seattle Seahawks cornerback Shaquill Griffin is this week’s NFL U.S. National team alum of the week, presented by Upper Deck.

Griffin had five tackles (four solo tackles) and two pass defenseds during Sunday’s 24-10 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Eagles entered Sunday’s game with the best record in the NFL at 10-1, and a high-powered offense, however, Griffin and the Seahawks’ defense proved to be a difficult matchup.

The Eagles (10-2) still lead the NFC East, and the Seahawks (8-4) are currently second in the NFC West.
