Week two of the NFL is now over, and some former Buckeyes had some impressive games, and some had days they probably want to forget. Let’s jump in and see what all the Buckeye alumni did this past weekend.
Ezekiel Elliott had a touchdown in his debut, but was pretty much bottled up all game. This week he got free a little more and ran the ball 21 times for 83 yards and his second career touchdown. However, it was more about his fumbles this week that has everyone talking. Zeke fumbled twice in the Cowboys 27-23 victory over the Washington Redskins. Only one was lost though, but it did briefly give the Redskins a 23-20 lead when they converted a field goal on their drive after the recovery.
Ezekiel Elliott & David Johnson are tied for the NFC lead in rushing yards with 134.
Christine Michael is 3rd in the NFC with 126.

Terrelle Pryor also made some headlines this weekend when he made a catch late in the game to set up a potential game winning drive, but he flipped the ball to what looked like the ref, but it landed on the Ravens defensive back Lardarious Webb instead, causing a flag to be thrown. The flag was a 15 yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty and since there was a defensive holding that would have been declined, the penalties offset causing the down to be replayed. Then the Browns Josh McCown threw a pick on the next play sealing the Browns fate.

Johnathan Hankins had himself a game as well along with teammate Eli Apple, as those two combined for 11 total tackles. Hankins also had a tackle for a loss and a blocked field goal that led to Janoris Jenkins returning it for a touchdown in the 2nd quarter against the Saints.
