Busy week for BYU Cougars in NFL: Ziggy is back, Davis starts, Hill has wild play, and Van Noy and Williams head-to-head
Teammates in 2012 and 2013, Van Noy gets ready to take down Jamaal Williams (Evan Siegel, Packers.com). |
Week nine of the NFL season saw former BYU Cougars do some good. Ezekiel Ansah didn't just return from injury, but he got a sack. Michael Davis had his biggest game, including playing in crunch time.
In a game that was billed a Brady vs. Rodgers, even though the two were never on the field at the same time, two former Cougars went head-to-head, literally.
Kyle Van Noy, New England Patriots (7-2) W Green Bay Packers 31-17
Van Noy did his part to help New England win the game hyped as Tom Brady vs. Aaron Rodgers. Van Noy led the team with 9 tackles. Several of those were tackles of former BYU teammate Jamaal Williams, including Williams' longest run and reception of the night.
The box score doesn't show a tackle for loss for Van Noy (or M. Brown), but the play by says he got one.
2nd & 3 at GB 32
(6:52 - 4th) (No Huddle, Shotgun) A.Jones up the middle to GB 31 for -1 yards (K.Van Noy; M.Brown).

Taysom Hill, New Orleans Saints (7-1) W Los Angeles Rams 45-35
Hill didn't have a huge role in the Saints handing the Rams their first loss of the season, but he did help set the tone. He had a nine-yard run on 4th and 1 on the game's opening drive to keep it going. It ended in a New Orleans touchdown.

John Denney, Miami Dolphins (5-4) W New York Jets 13-6
Denney got a workout yesterday. He was the Dolphins long snapper for two field goals, one extra point, and nine punts.
He has four tackles this season.
Jamaal Williams, Green Bay Packers (3-4-1) L New England Patriots 31-17
Williams didn't get as many touches as Aaron Jones, again, but he was effective when he got the ball. Jones lost a fumble during the game. Maybe that can help Williams see the field more. It might also help that he was a big part of the Packers' second quarter touchdown drive.
Both of his receptions resulted in first downs. He also had two first down runs.

Michael Davis, Los Angeles Chargers (6-2) W Seattle Seahawks 25-17
Davis got his first career start at cornerback. He had a career high eight tackles. Two were third down stops short of the first down. Seattle picked on him trying to get a touchdown on what would have been the final play of the game. Davis was called for pass interference, but it helped preserve the win. Seattle couldn't score from the one-yard line the next play.
