This week many former Terrapins, from bonafide stars to struggling starters and even third-string backups, had great performances for teams across the National Football League.
The Maryland alum who played best this week wasn’t a receiver, it was actually Indianapolis Colts defensive end Yannick Ngakoue, who had his best game of the season against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday Night Football. Ngakoue put up two sacks in the first quarter alone, finishing the game with two sacks, three solo tackles and an assisted tackle along with two tackles for loss and two quarterback hits. Despite his efforts, the Colts lost to the Steelers, 24-17.
