It wasn’t the greatest NFL weekend for Ole Miss alumni.
Philadelphia’s A.J. Brown had one of the best offensive days among the former Rebels. He had nine catches for 95 yards in a win against Washington.
Denver’s D.J. Jones had the biggest defensive day with seven tackles and a sack in a losing effort.
The Rebel that made the biggest headlines, though, was Pittsburgh wide receiver DK Metcalf. He was suspended two games for an altercation with a fan. You can read more about that here.
Former Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart had one of the worst days a quarterback could have. He completed only seven passes for 33 yards with one interception and was sacked five times. He ended the game with QBR of 4.7.
