Another week of professional football is in the books, and the Buckeyes again showed off well this week. Zeke went off on the Bengals, Bosa made his NFL debut, and “El Guapo” keeps finding the end zone for the 49ers.

Zeke goes Big in Big D:


Ezekiel Elliott showed why he was the #4 overall pick in the draft this week with his breakaway speed and ability to hit the open holes. He had a 60 yard touchdown scamper (below), and a shorter 13 yard touchdown run as well on his way to 134 yards on 15 carries. He also hauled in three pass catches for 37 yards.

Zeke continues to get better every week and grows more comfortable in the offense. He is now leading the NFL in rushing through five weeks with 546 yards on 109 carries, along with five touchdowns.

Big Bear Makes his Big NFL Debut:


It was a long awaited debut for Joey Bosa in a Chargers uniform, but the #3 overall pick finally got a chance to play on Sunday and boy did he not disappoint. He had two sacks to go along with three tackles for a loss on the day. He only played 27 snaps on Sunday, but made a big impact while he was on the field. I assume we will see more of him each week going forward along with more quarterback sacks.

Carlos Hyde keeps finding the end zone:


While Ezekiel Elliott is getting most of the attention, Carlos Hyde is having a great season himself albeit on a pretty bad San Francisco 49ers team. Hyde has 377 yards rushing in four games this season, and is tied with Melvin Gordon of San Diego for the most rushing touchdowns with six. Hyde currently sits at eighth in rushing in the NFL averaging 75.4 yards per game.
