With the 12th week of NFL action in the books 24 of the 28 Tennessee Volunteers in the NFL still have their teams in the hunt for the Playoffs.
Trey Smith showed out on Sunday Night Football, helping his Chiefs to their fifth-consecutive victory. His powerful downfield run blocking was on full display for a national audience.
Cordarrelle Patterson continued his strong season rushing, totaling 78 yards on 13 carries.
Jakob Johnson played a critical role in New England’s 14-10 win on Monday night. As cold, windy and snowy conditions came down on Highmark Stadium, the Patriots ran the ball 46 times with only three pass attempts. Johnson helped the rushing offense amass 222 yards and delivered a key block on the only touchdown of the day for the Patriots.
Michael Palardy’s impressive special teams run for Miami continued, as he boomed a career-long 65 yarder and pinned another three punts inside the 20 in a 20-9 Dolphins win over the New York Giants.
