Huskers in the NFL Week 1

Several former Huskers made an impact during Week 1 of the NFL season, including a handful of rookies. Rookie fullback Andy Janovich took his first professional touch to the endzone in his NFL debut for the defending Super Bowl champion Denver Broncos on Thursday night against Carolina. His touchdown run of 28 yards helped the Broncos take down the Panthers, 21-20.

Detroit running back Ameer Abdullah caught a touchdown pass in the Lions' 39-35 victory over Indianapolis on Sunday. Abdullah had five receptions for 57 yards, and also ran 12 times for 63 yards. 

New York Jet Quincy Enunwa also caught a touchdown reception on Sunday. Enunwa caught seven passes in all for 54 yards against Cincinnati.

Offensive linemen Alex Lewis (Baltimore) and Matt Slauson (San Diego) each earned starts over the weekend. Lewis played left guard for the Ravens against the Bills, while Slauson played center against the Chiefs. Spencer Long (Washington) and Brent Qvale (New York Jets) also saw playing time.

Obstacles are put in front of you, not to break you, but to better you and make you stronger. Never forget 9/11. Game day vs the Bills
