Owls in the NFL - Week 14
12.14.21 | Football
Week 14 was highlighted by a special moment for the Owls in the NFL.
Matt Rhule's (2013-16) Carolina Panthers led by Robby Anderson (2011-13, 2015) and P.J Walker (2013-16), who connected for a touchdown in the loss to Matt Hennessy's (2017-19) Atlanta Falcons, 29-21. This was the second Temple to Temple connection in NFL history, with the first coming in 1936 as Dave Smukler found Joe Pilconis in an Eagles' loss to the Giants at the Polo Grounds (Bob Vetrone Jr., Philadelphia Inquirer). Haason Reddick (2013-16) started and made three tackles, while Sam Franklin (2016-19), Colin Thompson (2014-16), and Sean Chandler (2014-17) all saw action on special teams for the Panthers on Sunday.
Elsewhere around the league, Temple TUFF continues to leave its mark on Sundays.
