Week four is in the books, and boy did the Buckeye alums get it done this weekend. From the kicking game, to pass catching to rushing touchdowns, former Buckeyes did it all. Let’s take a look at what everyone did this past weekend in the NFL.

Buckeye wideouts had huge games this past weekend, with Terrelle Pryor, Michael Thomas and Corey Brown all catching touchdowns.
Michael Thomas had his second career receiving touchdown in the Saints 35-34 comeback win over the Chargers. Thomas had four receptions for 44 yards in the game, and his touchdown brought the Saints to within one score in the 4th quarter. Thomas leads all rookie receivers with 21 catches through four weeks.
Terrelle Pryor had a tough match-up on Sunday going against the Redskins and Josh Norman, but he came away with five receptions for 46 yards and this touchdown. On the celebration after the touchdown, Pryor received another 15 yard penalty to go along with his controversial one earlier in the year.

Corey “Philly” Brown had a 4th down touchdown reception from backup Derek Anderson, as the Panthers fell to the Falcons 48-33. Anderson came in to replace an injured Cam Newton and found Brown to cut the score to 41-33 at the time.

Carlos Hyde vs Ezekiel Elliott
The Cowboys and the 49ers faced off on Sunday, and brought together Ohio State’s last two 1,000 yard rushing running backs in Carlos Hyde and Ezekiel Elliott. Elliott’s Cowboys came out on top 24-17, but both guys had good games. Hyde went for 74 yards on 19 carries and a touchdown and Elliott had 23 carries for 138 and a touchdown and a 19 yard reception. Elliott is in good company as you can see from the graphic below as he ranks 5th in most rushing yards by a rookie through four games since 1966.

Silver Bullets in the NFL:
Kurt Coleman and Cameron Heyward were your big time performers on defense this past weekend, with Coleman getting a pick-six and Heyward racking up 3 sacks against the Chiefs. Heyward also had a tipped ball at the line of scrimmage that was intercepted.

Kickers are People Too:
Mike Nugent was a cult hero in Ohio State history, and he is quietly becoming one of the NFL’s best kickers. He connected on 5 field goals on Thursday to help the Bengals take down the Dolphins 22-7. It was the third five field goal game for Nugent in his career. Nugent is 10/11 on field goals this season for the Bengals.
