Week 8 of the 2018 NFL season brought a pair of firsts for two Utah ties — a season first for former BYU linebacker Kyle Van Noy and a career first for former Utah wide receiver Tim Patrick.
Van Noy, starting at linebacker for New England, forced a fumble on a strip sack in the third quarter when he hit Buffalo quarterback Derek Anderson from behind and knocked the ball loose, and teammate Patrick Chung recovered the ball. That set up a Patriots field goal that extended their lead to 12-6 in an eventual 25-6 New England win Monday night.
