Minnesota Football: Gophers in the NFL—Week 4

After a very lackluster Week 3, we had several players step up and make plays in Week 4. Eric Murray had possibly the best interception of the year, and Maxx Williams helped the Ravens keep winning. Lets see how the rest did.

Maxx Williams— Tight End—Baltimore Ravens

Week 4 at Pittsburgh Steelers (Sunday night) Denver Broncos

Williams was targeted five times by Joe Flacco and he caught all five passes for 51 yards. That included a 22 yard pass in the fourth quarter where the Ravens employed some trickery resulting in Maxx being an eligible receiver while lining up directly to the left of the center.

Williams played 41 snaps Sunday night and was the Ravens highest ranked player by Pro Football Focus with a rating of 84.0

Week 5 at Cleveland Browns

Briean Boddy-Calhoun—Cornerback—Cleveland Browns

Week 4 at Oakland Raiders

Boddy-Calhoun recorded one solo tackle and two assisted tackles in the Browns heartbreaking loss to the Raiders. Calhoun played in 33 snaps a week after he did not play a single defensive snap. He should see more time with the Browns losing starting cornerback Terrance Mitchell to a broken wrist.

Week 5 vs Baltimore Ravens

Tramaine Brock—Defensive Back—Denver Broncos

Week 4 vs Kansas City Chiefs (Monday Night)

Brock did not play a defensive snap in the Broncos loss to KC on Monday night.

Week 5 @ New York Jets

Eric Murray—Cornerback—Kansas City Chiefs

Week 4 at Denver Broncos (Monday Night)

Murray started at safety for the Chiefs once again and may have cemented his spot even if Eric Berry does come back. Murray played all 60 defensive snaps, recorded five solo tackles, one assisted tackle, and may have made the interception of the season taking the ball away from the Broncos receiver while falling out of bounds in KC’s win to move to 4-0 on the season.

Week 5 vs Jacksonville Jaguars

Damien Wilson—Linebacker—Dallas Cowboys

Week 4 vs Detroit Lions

Wilson played just 9 defensive snaps for the Cowboys win over Detroit. He did make the most of them as he recorded two solo tackles and two assisted tackles.

Week 5 at Houston Texans (Sunday Night)

Marcus Sherels—Cornerback/Returner—Minnesota Vikings

Week 4 at Los Angeles Rams (Thursday Night)

Sherels was inactive for the Vikings loss in LA on Thursday night. Hopefully 2 weeks off and he will be ready to go against the Eagles

Week 5 at Philladelphia Eagles

De’Vondre Campbell—Linebacker—Atlanta Falcons

Week 4 vs Cincinnati Bengals

Campbell played in 64 defensive snaps for the Falcons in their heartbreaking last second loss to the Bengals. He had five solo tackles in the loss.
