Each week here at tBBC we will take a look at the Buckeyes who are playing in the NFL and see how they did.

The Buckeyes had quite a few fresh faces playing their first NFL regular season game on Sunday and there were a few standouts. Zeke Elliott had 20 rushes for 51 yards and one reception for one yard. Most importantly, he also scored his first of many career rushing touchdowns. The Cowboys fell to the Giants 20-19.

Jalin Marshall had a great day returning kickoffs and punts for the New York Jets as he finished the afternoon with three kickoff returns for 110 yards and 2 punt returns for 11 yards in the Jets 23-22 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.

Other Buckeye rookies that saw their first action were Braxton Miller who had one catch for 6 yards in Houston’s 23-14 win over the Bears, Darron Lee had 6 total tackles, and left the game with an injury but should be ok for next week. Eli Apple played opposite of Elliott and the Cowboys and had a decent day in coverage and also made 4 tackles. Michael Thomas had a great first game recording 6 catches for 58 yards in the Saints 35-34 loss to Oakland. Taylor Decker and Adolphus Washington both got the starts on their respective lines and while Washington didn’t record a tackle, Decker had a solid day blocking leading the Lions to a 39-35 win over the Colts. Tyvis Powell also had a tackle in his debut for the Seahawks, as they won 12-10 over the Dolphins. Joey Bosa, Nick Vannett, and Darryl Baldwin did not play on Sunday, while Vonn Bell and Joshua Perry both saw their first game action of the season, but did not record and stats.

Carlos Hyde showed up on Monday night with a 88 yard on 23 carry performance also scoring two touchdowns to lead the 49ers to the win 28-0 over the Los Angeles Rams.
