Bulldogs in the NFL

STARKVILLE, Miss. - Week six of the NFL season has come to a close, and it is time to take a look at how the 20 former Bulldogs who have gone #FromStateToSundays fared.

Only six games into his NFL career, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is already making history. On a 15-yard pass completion to Terrance Williams, Prescott broke Tom Brady's record for most pass attempts without an interception to start a career, and extended it by 13. Prescott also threw for 247 yards and a career-high three touchdown passes in the 30-16 win at Green Bay.

In Houston, Benardrick McKinney collected 12 tackles in an overtime win against the Colts. The second year Texans linebacker sack on third down in overtime forced Indianapolis to punt, setting up Houston's winning field goal.
