Hill tastes playoff success, Sorensen and Reid's seasons are over

Daniel Sorensen sacks Marcus Mariota on a two-point conversion.


Just two former BYU Cougars were in action this week. Kyle Van Noy and the Patriots had a bye in the playoffs. That left just Daniel Sorensen and Taysom Hill in action for Wild Card Weekend.

Blue Cougar Football usually limits its weekly NFL report on BYU alumni to the players, but we will note here that former BYU quarterback Steve Sarkisian is still coaching after the Atlanta Falcons defeated the Los Angeles Rams, 26-13. Sarkisian is the offensive coordinator for Atlanta. The Falcons will play at Philadelphia this Saturday.

Daniel Sorensen, Kansas City Chiefs (10-6)
L 22-21 Tennessee Titans

Sorensen made three tackles. They all came in the second half, but it wasn't enough. The Chiefs squandered a 21-3 halftime lead. They couldn't even score after Tennessee muffed a punt in the second half. The Chiefs offense moved backwards two yards, and a 48-yard field goal attempt hit the upright.

To his credit, Sorensen never gave up. When the Titans tried a two-point conversion after taking a one-point lead, he blitzed and sacked the Titans quarterback. (Other than points scored, stats are not kept for two-point conversions.)

Former Cougar Andy Reid is the head coach for the Kansas City Chiefs. Naturally, his season is over as well.
