The Ohio State football program got a dominating win over the Purdue Boilermakers on Saturday. Winning the game 34-10 was easy work for the Buckeyes, and they will move on next week to take on the UCLA Bruins. They have plenty of guys who will be playing on Sundays next year.
The Ohio State Buckeyes who are already playing in the NFL completely took over the league. Several former Buckeyes had huge games for their respective teams on Sunday. Some receivers had huge days, and one of them even set a bit of NFL history in a win.
Chris Olave helped his rookie quarterback get his first win as a starter in the NFL by being the best player on the field for the Saints. He finished the game with five catches for 104 yards and a touchdown. Unfortunately, he was overshadowed by one of his fomer teammates.
Ohio State receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba sets NFL history
In a game that the Seahawks won 44-22 over the Cardinals, Jaxon Smith-Njigba set some history. He had five catches for 93 yards and a touchdown, becoming only the second receiver in NFL history to have at least 75 receiving yards in the first nine games of the season, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. That's some good work.
Rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson had by far the best day of his young career on Sunday in a victory over one of the best teams in the NFC. Henderson had 14 carries for 147 yards and two touchdowns, including the game-sealing 69-yard touchdown run.
In that same game, his former Ohio State teammate Emeka Egbuka had six catches for 115 yards and a touchdown, doing everything he possibly could to get a win for the Buccaneers. Instead, Henderson's Patriots were able to emerge victorious 28-23.
On the defensive side of the ball, Ronnie Hickman had some solid play for the Browns in a losing effort against Justin Fields' Jets. He had four tackles, a pass knocked down, and a pick. He has started to become a solid part of their defense.
Ohio State football players are all over the NFL, and they are killing it. They do it on a weekly basis, too,
