The National Football League regular season ended Sunday night when the Washington Football team downed the Philadelphia Eagles, 20-14. And while the game itself wasn't particularly entertaining, it was nonetheless a very proud night for Old Dominion football.
For the first time ever, three ODU alumni were on the same NFL field. In all, seven former Monarchs are on NFL rosters, either as active players, on injured reserve or the practice squad. Three players will be in the playoffs this weekend and another could play the weekend of Jan. 16-17.
That's not bad for a school that began playing football 2009 and has played just six FBS seasons.
