From State to Sundays - Week Six Update

STARKVILLE, Miss. - Week Six of the NFL season has come to a close, and it is time to take a look at how the 14 former Bulldogs who have gone #FromStateToSundays fared.

Week Six was one of strong defensive performances from former Bulldogs. Fletcher Cox and Preston Smith each collected two tackles, a half sack and knocked down a pass as their teams won. Smith has collected at least a half sack in every game this season for Washington.

Darius Slay caught his third interception of the season against Drew Brees and the Saints. It was only the second interception Brees has thrown all season.

Benardrick McKinney tallied the most tackles of any former Bulldog with eight in a Texans win. In Baltimore on Sunday, Pernell McPhee earned his third sack in a Chicago road win against his former team.
