Week 5 of the NFL season saw more big performances across the board from African players, but many who put in strong shifts ultimately had to endure the bitter taste of defeat.
However, for Lagos-born linebacker Emmanuel Ogbah, a solid day's work on defense was ultimately rewarded with a crucial win for the Miami Dolphins over the New England Patriots in which he was one of their best players.
Other standout performers with roots in Africa included the Cleveland Browns' Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah (Ghana) and the San Francisco 49ers' Brandon Aiyuk (Cameroon), while another player with roots in Nigeria - Nnamdi Madubuike - had a moment to remember.
