UGA Football: Bulldogs in the NFL – Week 15
ATHENS, Ga. – Here is a recap of what former Georgia players did in this past weekend’s NFL games.
Former No. 1 overall pick Matthew Stafford kicked off week 15 helping the Los Angeles Rams to a 12-6 street fight win over the now 6-8 San Francisco 49ers. Stafford added 160 passing yards to his season total to creep closer to the 4,000-yard mark this year and the 10th time in his career.
49ers edge rusher Leonard Floyd remains in pursuit of a back-to-back season with double-digit sacks after recording 10.5 sacks for the Buffalo Bills last season. Floyd need just 1.5 more this year to grab the honor. Rookie tight end Brock Bowers added 35 yards to his season receiving yard total in the Las Vegas Raiders’ Monday night loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Bowers, the two-time Mackey Award winner, already holds the rookie tight end record for receptions. Bowers needs just 108 receiving yards in the Raiders’ last three games of the season to break the rookie tight end receiving yards record set by Mike Ditka for the Chicago Bears in 1961.
