As the halfway mark of the NFL season approaches, byes are beginning to affect how many Aussie's suit up each week for their respective clubs.
However, over the weekend there were still plenty of great performances to choose from, including a head-to-head matchup which pitted Daniel Faalele of the Ravens up against Tory Taylor of the Bears against each other.
Here's how every Australian player performed in Week 8.
Aussie NFL Week 8 Wrap-up
Jordan Mailata
Jordan Mailata was on fire in Week 8, as he consistently moved Giants defensive lineman off the line of scrimmage to create running lanes for his star back Saquon Barkley.
Barkley had 150 yards rushing, including a 65-yard touchdown on the second play of the game through a gap opened by Mailata.
Despite taking four sacks, Jalen Hurts' blindside was well protected on the day, receiving most of the pressure from the interior of the pocket.
Saquon Barkley reached a top speed of 21.68 mph on his 65-yard TD run, his fastest speed of the season.#NYGvsPHI | #FlyEaglesFlypic.twitter.com/UeoUFAEKYV

Daniel Faalele
Daniel Faalele ignored the noise over the bye week about his job security at the right guard position, putting together his best 60 minutes of the season.
Per Pro Football Focus' grading system, Faalele recorded a score of 71.5, which matched the fifth-best of any Ravens player on offence.
The Ravens picked the Bears defence apart with their backup quarterback, largely thanks to the improvements made on the O-line.
Tyler Huntley's first win in Baltimore as a starter since late 2022 was highlighted by this Scramble in the 3rd Q. On a 2nd & 9, Huntley springs free off a block from Daniel Faalele for 30 yards, leading to a FG and 16-6 lead.

Tory Taylor
Tory Taylor was outstanding in a beaten side, nailing two punts for 108 yards total in his side's 14-point loss to the Ravens.
Taylor's best punt of the day was negated by a penalty given up by his running mates on special teams, adding to the frustration of the loss.
Mitch Wishnowsky
Mitch Wishnowsky continued his hot start for the Bills in their Week 8 win over the Panthers.
On three punts, he gained 146 yards total and pinned Carolina inside their own 20-yard-line on two occasions.
Jeremy Crawshaw
It was a quiet night for Jeremy Crawshaw as the Broncos put up 44 points of offence against a lacklustre Cowboys defence.
Crawshaw was given two chances with the boot and turned that into 80 total yards but failed to land any inside the 20-yard-line.
