Huskers in the NFL Week 1

Rookie running back Ameer Abdullah scored on the first carry of his NFL career in Detroit's game against San Diego on Sunday. His 24-yard touchdown was one of seven rushing attempts on the day for 50 yards. Abdullah also caught four passes for 44 yards and compiled 105 yards on three kickoff returns.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Former Husker kickers Josh Brown (New York Giants) and Sam Koch (Baltimore) also enjoyed successful opening weeks in the NFL. Brown went 4-for-4 on field goals and 2-for-2 on extra points. Koch averaged 51.7 yards per punt (six attempts) at Denver.

Rookie defensive end Randy Gregory made his NFL debut for the Dallas Cowboys and registered one quarterback hurry. In the third quarter, Gregory suffered a high-ankle sprain. 

Bengals running back Rex Burkhead caught one pass for 24 yards to help Cincinnati to a 33-13 win over Oakland. On the offensive line, Matt Slauson started at left guard for the Chicago Bears, while the Jets' Brent Qvale played against the Browns.

New York Giants defensive back Prince Amukamara recorded eight tackles, six of which were solo stops, against the Cowboys. The Giants, however, lost to Dallas, 27-26.
