NFL Highlights: Chuba Scores Twice, Rudolph Gets the Win

We’ve seen a dearth of highlight-worthy plays from current Cowboys, but if you were tuned into the NFL this past weekend, you saw plenty of former Pokes turning heads. Here are a few highlights from OSU alums from the NFL’s Week 9.

Chuba Gets✌️

Chuba Hubbard was a big part of Carolina’s second win of the season, a 23-22 comeback against New Orleans. The former OSU tailback logged 72 rushing yards and two scores, including the comeback TD and the game-winner.

The Panthers came out of halftime down 13-10 before Hubbard’s 1-yard TD gave them the lead early in the third. Then, down 22-17 late, Hubbard broke loose for this 16-yard score to put Carolina up for good with just 2:18 on the clock.

Through nine games, Hubbard is ranked fifth in the NFL in rushing yards and is within the Top 10 in rushing attempts, yards per attempt (5.0) and touches. Chuba and the Panthers are headed to Munich, Germany where they will play the New York Giants. The game will be televised on CBS at 8:30 a.m. Sunday.

Rudolph, Titans Win in OT

Mason Rudolph went 20-for-33 for 240 yards and two touchdowns to one pick. He also showed his ability to break free when necessary.

While Rudolph had his best game since taking the reins in Tennessee, his status for Week 10 will be in question as Week 1 starter Will Levis (shoulder) took part in limited practices last week. The Titans head to Los Angeles to face the Chargers at 3:05 p.m. Sunday.

Justice Hill Needs the Ball

The versatile former Cowboy is just too good not to get on the field, and Todd Monken has been doing his best to keep him involved despite playing alongside rushers like Derrick Henry and QB Lamar Jackson.

Hill caught all three of his targets for 43 yards, including that beauty during the Ravens’ 41-10 win over the Broncos.

Hill, Tylan Wallace and the rest of the Ravens will host the Cincinnati Bengals at 7:15 p.m. Thursday on Amazon Prime.
