Several former Huskies are now playing in the National Football League. Below is a look back at last week's games, presented by Toyota.
NOTABLE PERFORMERS
Dante Pettis had quite the game for the NY Giants in their 25-3 win over the Panthers. He caught a touchdown and threw a 16-yard completion to quarterback Daniel Jones, who made a remarkable one-handed grab. Pettis had five receptions for 39 yards, while teammate John Ross added two catches for 27 yards ... Myles Bryant had a big day in the Patriots win over the NY Jets, recording six tackles, including his first career sack ... Elijah Molden had eight tackles in the Titans' big win over the Chiefs ... Myles Gaskin had a good all-around day for the Dolphins, with 15 carries for 67 yards and four receptions for 10 yards, including a touchdown. Teammate Salvon Ahmed toted the ball seven times for 26 yards and had two receptions for 26 yards ... Josiah Bronson played in his first NFL game, seeing action for the Saints on Monday Night Football against the Seahawks, recording two tackles ... Cory Littleton recorded six tackles and a pass defense in the Raiders win over the Eagles.

It was a great catch, but how about some love for Dante's throw?

Sunday was National Tight End Appreciation Day, so we think Will deserves some love.
