Week six of the NFL season has wrapped up, and it's time to take a look at how your favorite former Nittany Lions are performing this season.
Jaquan Brisker - Safety - Chicago Bears: Brisker got the week started on Thursday Night Football against the Washington Commanders. In. very defensive showing by both teams, Brisker finished with 5 tackles, 1 sack, 1 tackle for loss, and 1 QB hit. Brisker has been one of the most reliable safties in the league in just his first season, and tied for first on the team in sacks with 2.
Arnold Ebiketie - EDGE - Atlanta Falcons: The Falcons shocked the 49ers on Sunday, and mostly because of the pass rush provided by the Falcons line. Ebiketie had his first breakout game as a rookie, and lead all EDGE Rookies in many categories. Expect a lot more from Arnold moving forward, as the Falcons are hitting a stride on defense.
Allen Robinson II - WR - LA Rams: It's been a LONG time coming as we expected big things by Robinson on this Rams offense. Allen Robinson caught 5 pass on 6 targets for 63 yards and a touchdown. He won't get the target numbers like Kupp, but he's making the most of the passes coming his way! Pressing Robinson in the Red Zone might not be the best decison, as he high points the pass for a touchdown.
Chris Godwin - WR - Tampa Bay Bucs: One of the most surprising games on the weekend had to be Bucs going down to the Steelers. Godwin did his part on offense as he looks to be back at 100%. Brady looked to Godwin often, and finished with 6 catches for 95 yards, and a 15.8 yards average. Godwin also recovered a fumble after Brady was strip sacked in the first half.
Miles Sanders - RB - Philadelphia Eagles: Stop me if you've heard me say this before, but the Eagles are ROLLING as the last undefeated team, and Miles Sanders is leading the potent rushing attack by the Eagles. On Sunday, Miles Sanders finished with 71 rushing yards on 18 carries, and a touchdown. Sanders is currently 4th in the league in rushing yards with 485 yards.
Saquon Barkley - RB - New York Giants: Speaking of NFC East teams on a roll, the Giants have been the biggest surprise of the 2022 NFL season. Saquon Barkley is back to his old self, and shows no sign of slowing down. The Giants broke the hearts of Ravens' fans on Sunday in a comeback win, and Barkley finished with 22 carries for 83 yards, and the game-winning touchdown with 1:43 left in the game as he FLEW into the endzone. BArkley also had the highest IQ play on the weekend as he slide short of the endzone to help time expire instead of scoring. (Sorry if he's on your fantasy team)
Mike Gesicki - TE - Miami Dolphins: The top performer of the weekend had to be Mike Gesicki who had 6 catches for 69 yards, and 2 touchdowns on the weekend as the Dolphins are dying to get Tua back at QB. Sadly, Gesicki in the endzone means more Gesicki Griddy attempts. Don't be surprised in Gesicki is hitting the Griddy to another team before the NFL's Trade Deadline on November 1st.
