Seven former Colorado players saw action during the first week of the 2019 NFL season.
Ahkello Witherspoon led the NFL Buffs this past week with a strong defensive performance against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 49ers beat the Bucs 31-17 on Sunday and Witherspoon sealed the game with a 25-yard interception on Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston.

In addition to sealing the game for San Francisco, Witherspoon's pick-six gave the 49ers their third interception of the day, helping them eclipse their total from the 2018 season in which they only recorded two the entire year.
