Week 8 of the NFL season was one of the most productive so far for Africa's stars in the league, particularly for Cleveland Browns' Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, before he was stretchered off injured.
The Browns needed the win more than their counterparts did, and thanks to strong efforts on defense from Owusu-Koramoah (Ghanaian descent), Mohamoud Diabaté (Malian descent) and Ogbo Okoronkwo (Nigerian descent) - as well as a superb touchdown from David Njoku (Nigerian descent) - they kept their faint playoff hopes alive with a 29-24 win.
