Nissan #ProJackets Football Report

Oct. 24, 2016

THE FLATS — Week seven saw a lot of #ProJackets’ NFL teams pick up key wins, however, the week is not over as two former Yellow Jackets will suit up for their team tonight on Monday Night Football when the Denver Broncos host the Houston Texans.

Offensive lineman Shaq Mason helped guide the New England Patriots to a 27-16 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday afternoon and improve to 6-1 on the season. In the win, the Patriots totaled 362 yards in the win on 140 yards rushing and 222 yards in the air versus the Steelers’ defense.

On the defensive side of the ball, rookie D.J. White registered a career-high five solo tackles in the Chiefs 27-21 win over New Orleans, while Derrick Morgan recorded 1.5 sacks for the Titans in a loss to the Indianapolis Colts.

Below is a complete list of the Football #ProJackets currently on NFL rosters.
