CINCINNATI — Sunday turned into a banner stretch for UC NFL players. Ahmad "Sauce" Gardner and Alec Pierce balled out, while fellow rookies Coby Bryant and Myjai Sanders made big plays as well.

The former notched his fourth forced fumble of the season for the Seattle Seahawks. He now leads all NFL players in that category.

According to Pro Football Reference, Bryant is the first rookie to lead the NFL in forced fumbles since 1999, when the site first started tracking forced fumbles. Bryant finished with eight tackles, one pass break up, and a forced fumble in 19-9 win.

Sanders made an impact on the other side of Bryant in the Cardinals' loss to Seattle. The rookie edge rusher tallied his first career sack. 

Defensive Coordinator Vance Joseph noted we should see more of Sanders on the field in the coming weeks.
