Huskers in the NFL - Week 5

A total of 19 former Huskers were in action during NFL play on Sunday while Matt Slauson and the New York Jets take on Minnesota on Monday night

Fabian Washington had five solo tackles and four pass breakups, as Baltimore moved into first place in the AFC North with a 31-17 victory over Denver. Sam Koch helped limit Denver's field positions with four punts for a 43.5 yard average, as the Broncos started three of the four drives inside their own 25-yard line and did not have a yard on returns all day. Former Husker Correll Buckhalter had five carries for 13 yards and caught a 12-yard pass for Denver, as the Broncos fell to 2-3 on the season.

Another former Husker I-back had a big day, as Brandon Jackson rushed for a career-high 115 yards in a 16-13 loss to Washington. It was Jackson's second career 100-yard day - first since his rookie campaign - and included a 71-yard run in the first quarter.

In Detroit, the Lions picked up their first win of the season with an impressive 44-6 win over St. Louis. The Lions' win was its most lopsided win since 1995, as Detroit scored on six of seven possessions to break open the game behind the play of Dominic Raiola.  Ndamukong Suh made an impact with three tackles and his first NFL interception while Kyle Vanden Bosch had two tackles and a quarterback hurry in the victory.  Josh Brown's two field goals accounted for all of St. Louis' points in the loss, connecting on a pair of 28-yard field goals.
