"77" "B.A."
Hard Hat Award (Wild Card Game, @ Cinci)
Stiller backup safety Tyrone Carter is the winner of the weekly Hard Hat Award, given to the Stiller player who best embodies the iron-tough, hard-as-steel attitude of the steel workers inside the blast furnace of a still mill.

This all changed this past Sunday, when Ty saw considerable PT in the dime defense, and responded with a sterling effort.
