C.J Spillman, S, San Francisco 49ers

Great review of Spillman’s night during San Francisco’s 24 – 3 loss to New Orleans via CSNBayarea.com:

Replaced Donte Whitner at SS in the middle of the second quarter, and he recorded five tackles . . . . Made hit on WR Courtney Roby near sideline after 18-yard completion late in first half. . . . WR Montez Billings caught a crossing route in his section of the field for a 25-yard gain. . . . Missed tackle on Mark Ingram, who eluded Spillman's low tackle attempt for a 14-yard TD run up the middle.
