It was a snowy afternoon in Buffalo as left tackle Dion Dawkins (2013-16) and the Bills defeated the Cincinnati Bengals in a shootout, 39-34. The Bills trailed 28-18 midway through the fourth quarter but scored 21 unanswered points to recapture the lead and seal the victory. They recorded 416 yards of total offense behind Dawkins including 183 yards on the ground. Safety Sam Franklin (2016-19) contributed on special teams.
The snow also made its way to Cleveland as tight end David Martin-Robinson (2018-23) and the Titans defeated the Browns, 31-29. Martin-Robinson saw his most significant playing time of the season and contributed to a run game that totaled 184 yards. He also had a six-yard reception, his second of the season and tied for the longest reception of his career.
Cornerback Rock Ya-Sin (2018) has continued to turn heads in Detroit during its 44-30 victory over the Cowboys. He recorded four tackles in the win and showed out all game long in pass coverage against the Cowboys' heralded wide receiving corps.
Head Coach Todd Bowles (1982-85) and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers fell to the New Orleans Saints in a narrow 24-20 defeat. Linebacker Haason Reddick recorded two tackles in the game including one for a loss. The Bucs remain tied for first place in the NFC South as the Bucs seek to return to the playoffs.
Linebackers Jacob Martin (2014-17) and Jordan Magee (2019-23) recorded four and three tackles apiece in the Commanders 31-0 loss to the Vikings. Wide receiver Robbie Chosen (2013-15) did not play against Minnesota. Kicker Brandon McManus (2009-12) converted all four of his PATs in the Packers 28-21 win over the Bears. Linebacker Arnold Ebiketie (2017-20) recorded two tackles in the Falcons 37-9 loss to the Seahawks. Cornerback Christian Braswell (2017-20) recorded one tackle in the Jaguars 36-19 win over the Bengals.
Offensive lineman Matt Hennessey (2016-19) and the San Francisco 49ers were on a bye this week. They will return on Sunday to take on Martin-Robinson and the Titans.
