THE FLATS — The 102nd season of the National Football League is upon us and several former Yellow Jackets had strong weeks in this edition of the #ProJackets Football Report.
Pressley Harvin IIIrebounded from a tough week to boom two punts for a whopping average of 59.5 yards in the Steelers’ 27-19 victory over Denver. Harvin also set a new record long for his career, kicking a 63-yarder.
Tyler Davis made his first career tackle (at any level) on Sunday on special teams as he plays for the second-straight week as a member of the Green Bay Packers. The Packers went on to win in a thriller 25-22 over the Cincinnati Bengals.
