Georgia Tech #ProJackets Football Report: Week Four

Oct. 2, 2017

THE FLATS — Week four of the NFL season saw Demaryius Thomas and Adam Gotsis help lead their Denver Broncos team to a win over the Oakland Raiders, while defensive players Morgan Burnett and Michael Johnson both recorded tackles in their team’s win on the week.

#ProJackets Shaq Mason and Derrick Morgan both started this week in home losses, while Jeremiah Attaochu and Chris Milton did not see the field this week as both were nursing injuries.

Two #ProJackets in Harrison Butker and D.J. White are active tonight for the Kansas City Chiefs as they host the Washington Redskins for Monday Night Football. Butker was signed by the Chiefs off of the Carolina Panthers’ practice squad on Sept. 26.

Today I start a new chapter with the @Chiefs. I’m very grateful for the opportunity and can’t wait to represent Kansas City. Go Chiefs! pic.twitter.com/JzUwAejYSh
