Dawgs in the NFL: Week Three
ATHENS, Ga. – Week three of NFL action is complete, and several former Bulldogs had exceptional performances for their respective teams.
Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Jordan Davis made his mark this past Sunday as he played hero in the Eagles win over the Los Angeles Rams.

His run made NFL history as he became the heaviest player to return a blocked kick over 50 yards for a touchdown (336 pounds). In addition to his blocked field goal, Davis added five tackles, one sack and a tackle for loss.
Meanwhile, Matthew Stafford continued his climb up the NFL record books for quarterbacks as he threw his 382nd touchdown pass, moving him past Matt Ryan for ninth-most all time.
