It was a quiet week for UConn in the NFL. Out of the ten Huskies currently on NFL rosters, only two showed up on stat sheets this week. Occasionally, this can be attributed to bye weeks, but only Ryan Griffin and the Houston Texans have that excuse.
Cornerback Byron Jones has been the best overall performer through 10 weeks of play, but this weekend’s matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles would require a special effort from Jones and this Cowboys defense.
Jones responded to the hostile environment with two tackles and a deflected pass, helping lead the Cowboys to their first road win of the year.
