Hawks in the NFL: Week 8

Check out what former Hawkeyes did this week in the NFL.

Jonathan Babineaux, DT, Atlanta Falcons

One tackle for Babineaux as the Falcons fell 23-20 to Tampa Bay.

Bryan Bulaga, OT, Green Bay Packers

It’s hard to believe Aaron Rodgers was sacked only three times Sunday, as he looked uncomfortable in the pocket all night long. Bulaga came in with the task of protecting his quarterback from Von Miller. Strong coverage and crowd noise made that job even harder.

Scott Chandler, TE, New England Patriots

Chandler hauled in one catch for nine yards as the Pats handled Miami, winning 30-7.

Adrian Clayborn, DE, Atlanta Falcons

Had one tackle in the loss to the Buccaneers.

Colin Cole, DL, Carolina Panthers

The Panthers play tonight against Indianapolis

Carl Davis, DL, Baltimore Ravens

One assisted tackle for Davis in limited action for the Ravens.

Andrew Donnal, OT, St. Louis Rams

Won’t play unless injuries demand it.

Mike Daniels, DE, Green Bay Packers

It’s hard to say anything good about the Packers defense from Sunday night, as it was gashed both on the ground and through the air.

James Ferentz, C, Denver Broncos

Reserve/special team duty for Ferentz.

C.J. Fiedorowicz, TE, Houston Texans

The second-year tight end had two grabs for 15 yards in Houston’s 20-6 win over

Chad Greenway, LB, Minnesota Vikings

Greenway had two tackles for Minnesota as they defeated the Bears 23-20.

Anthony Hitchens, LB, Dallas Cowboys

Hitchens hasn’t seen the field much in 2015 with a healthy Sean Lee in the mix.

Micah Hyde, DB, Green Bay Packers

Hyde had five solo tackles against the Broncos, who put up 500 total yards of offense.

Christian Kirksey, LB, Cleveland Browns

Kirksey had one tackle as the Browns fell 34-20 to Arizona.

Karl Klug, DE, Tennessee Titans

No tackles for the reserve lineman on Sunday.

Brandon Myers, TE, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Three catches for 32 yards against the Falcons. The Bucs are banking heavily on the run with rookie Jamies Winston under center, but with starting tight end Austin Sefarian-Jenkins still injured, Myers has a small role as a receiver.

Riley Reiff, OT, Detroit Lions

The Chiefs sacked Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford six times on his 42 dropbacks. Typical of Detroit, the team attempted just 14 rushes in the 45-10 loss.

Brandon Scherff, OG, Washington Redskins

BYE week.

Matt Tobin, OT, Philadelphia Eagles

BYE week.

Marshal Yanda, OG, Baltimore Ravens

The Ravens won their second game of the season behind the right arm of Joe Flacco (25-37, 319, 1 touchdown). However, he did take some heat in the pocket and didn’t have much of a run game to help him out.
