Samoan Tiger

Jonathan Fanene's two sacks of fellow ProUte Alex Smith earned him the ProUte of Week 3. Fanene, who missed nearly all of last season with an injury, has returned with a vengeance. His 3 tackles puts him up to 12 on the season, and this fumble recovery helped him edge out Eric Weddle, who had 3 tackles, a PDef, and an INT that sealed the Chargers' win over the Chiefs. Other players considered for the award were Alex Smith (20-30, 201 yards) and Sean Smith (6 tackles, PDef).
