THE FLATS — Despite a few #ProJackets being on their bye week this week, Georgia Tech had a strong showing in week five as every #ProJacket that put on a helmet and jersey for their respective team got a win except for one in week five of the NFL season.
Defensive end Michael Johnson appears to finally be 100 percent after an early season injury, as the veteran #ProJacket had a season-high four solo tackles and 2.0 sacks in the Cincinnati Bengals’ 20-16 win over the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.
After kicking the game-winning field goal in his first-ever NFL game last Monday night versus the Washington Redskins, Harrison Butker did not disappoint in his second career game on Sunday night, as the rookie #ProJacket went a perfect 5-for-5 on field goals, including a long of 49 yards to help the Kansas City Chiefs remain unbeaten (5-0) with a 42-34 win over the Houston Texans.
Extra: Harrison Butker nails 43-yard go-ahead field goal to seal epic win.
Harrison Butker is just the third kicker since 1950 to connect on eight or more field goals through his first two NFL games.
