Wolfpack In The NFL: Week 1

Philip Rivers (QB) - Rivers showed tremendous poise as he marched the Chargers down the field with less than two minutes left in the game on Monday night.

Rivers stat line: 24/36 for 252 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT (84.5 QB Rating)

Stephen Tulloch (LB) - Tulloch reassured the Tennessee Titans that inserting him into the starting lineup last season was a good plan. The Titans recently dropped linebacker Ryan Fowler, whose starting spot Tulloch took last season, showing that they had confidence in Tulloch. He led the Titans in tackles against the Steelers in a 10-13 loss, collecting 12 tackles (8 solo), 1 tackle for loss, and 1 fumble recovery

Mario Williams (DE) - Williams continued to show why he was chosen over Reggie Bush as the #1 draft pick a couple years back despite the fact that the Texans fell to the Jets 7-24. Williams stat line: 7 tackles (6 solo), 1 tackle for loss, 1 pass deflection

Jericho Cotchery (WR) - Cotchery and rookie Mark Sanchez had good chemistry in a game in which the Jets made a statement, defeating the Texans 24-7. After Laveranues Coles left for the Bengals, Cotchery moved into the #1 receiver role for the Jets. He fit the role well on Sunday, leading the Jets in receptions, collecting 6 receptions (targeted 7 times) for 90 yards

Tank Tyler (DT) - After a competitive battle with veteran Ron Edwards during the preseason, Tyler emerged as the starting Defensive Tackle in the Chiefs new 3-4 defense.

Torry Holt (WR) - After being released from the St. Louis Rams, Holt moved to Jacksonville, becoming the number one target for David Garrard. This past Sunday, the Jaguars fell to the Colts 12-14. Holt led the Jaguars with 47 yards receiving, reeling in 3 receptions (targeted 5 times).

Brian Williams (CB) - After recently being released from the Jaguars, Williams was quickly picked up by the Falcons, who gladly inserted him into the starting role at cornerback.

Williams stat line: 4 tackles (3 solo) and 1 fumble recovery (returned 53 yards).

Steven Hauschka (PK) - Hauschka went 1 for 2 in field goal attempts on Sunday in the Ravens 38-24 win over the Chiefs. He connected on a 44 yard field goal and missed one from 41 yards away. He was a perfect 5 for 5 on PAT's.
