Minnesota Football: Gophers in the NFL Week 8

With two teams on bye there weren’t a ton of opportunities for former Gophers to succeed this week....and they didn’t.

Maxx Williams— Tight End—Baltimore Ravens

Week 8 at Carolina Panthers

Williams was inactive for the Ravens loss to Carolina. The Ravens dressed just three tight ends and Maxx was the 4th guy. Ouch.

Week 9 vs Pittsburgh Steelers

Briean Boddy-Calhoun—Cornerback—Cleveland Browns

Week 8 at Pittsburgh Steelers

Boddy-Calhoun recirded two tackles and assisted on one more in the Browns loss to the Steelers. He played 55 defensive snaps—77% for Cleveland. How that will chance with DC Gregg Williams taking over as interm head coach next week?

Brock played 32 defensive snaps for the Broncos in their loss to KC. He assisted on one tackle but recorded two pass defenses.
