SALT LAKE CITY – It was another top notch outing for the Utes in the NFL as they finished week two of the regular season.
Utah has 21 former players on current NFL roster (53-man, practice, injured/reserve) with seven starting for their teams this past week. It was a big week for former Utes on defense with Marcus Williams coming up with a key interception for New Orleans while Eric Weddle finished third for Baltimore in tackles with seven.
Tim Patrick was also key for Denver, catching a pass for 26 yards to the Oakland 18-yard-line with just seconds remaining, setting up the game winning field goal for the Broncos.
