Week 16 of the NFL season featured Maryland football alum coming through when their teams needed them the most.

For the second consecutive week, Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo put together a career performance in a close loss.

After setting a career high with eight catches in Week 15, Okonkwo outdid himself with nine catches and a career-high 81 receiving yards in a 38-30 loss at the Indianapolis Colts. Okonkwo averaged just 2.3 catches and 22.8 receiving yards per game in his first 13 games this season.

As he’s done consistently this season, Cardinals kicker Chad Ryland delivered in a big moment for Arizona.
