Oh baby, did some former Tigers go nuts in the NFL this week. Comebacks, crazy athletic plays, SPEED... we had it all.
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 18th
DENVER 45, ARIZONA 10
Cardinals - Josh Bynes (LB) had six total tackles in the loss.
SUNDAY, OCTOBER 21st
CAROLINA 21, PHILADELPHIA 17
Panthers - Cam Newton (QB) led a comeback for the ages as Carolina defeated the defending Super Bowl champs on the road. Cam went 25-39 for 269 yards and 2 touchdowns through the air, while running seven times for 49 yards. Carolina trailed 17-0 with eleven minutes to play, but Cam led three touchdown drives in the fourth quarter to erase the deficit.

DETROIT 32, MIAMI 21
Lions - Kerryon Johnson (RB) dominated the Dolphins in Detroit’s win. He led the way for a Lions’ rushing attack that gained 248 yards total as he went for 158 yards on only 19 carries. He became just the second back this season to hit the 100-yard mark in the first quarter thanks to a burst down the sideline...
KERRYON!

Oh, you wanna put a tight split next to Dee Ford to force him inside? Fine. Oh, a RB is gonna chill in pass pro on the his side? Whatever. You wanna run away from Dee Ford? Absolutely not Andy. pic.twitter.com/4pNDBdtj5K
