Utes in the Pros: 2022 NFL Week 13; Week 12 Recap
SALT LAKE CITY – It's Week 13 in the NFL and 24 former Utah Utes hold NFL roster spots, with 13 in the group set to suit up this weekend for their respective squads.
Eight games across Sunday's slate will feature various Utes, while Nephi Sewell's New Orleans Saints are on Monday Night Football to take on Tampa Bay.
Two contests will see Utes on opposing sidelines. Cody Barton and the Seattle Seahawks are down at SoFi Stadium to square off against former Utah teammate Matt Gay and the Los Angeles Rams. Then, in the Bay Area, it'll be the Miami Dolphins with Eric Rowe going up against Mitch Wishnowsky and the San Francisco 49ers.
Allegiant Stadium will be busy this weekend; the NFL slate brings the LA Chargers to Las Vegas to duel with Jackson Barton and the Raiders. It comes two days after Allegiant hosts the 2022 Pac-12 Championship featuring the Utes and USC.
