In this story:

Oklahoma’s NFL performances were once again highlighted by two stellar quarterback performances. Both Baker Mayfield and Kyler Murray — former Heisman winners in Norman — starred on the gridiron in Week 5 action.

Mayfield and the Buccaneers fell short against the Falcons, but he did his part, throwing for 180 yards and three touchdowns on 19-of-24 passing. Murray pulled off one of the biggest upsets of the weekend, leading the Cardinals into San Francisco and walking away with a win. He threw for 195 yards and a touchdown, while rushing for 83 yards and another score on the ground.

One of the biggest bright spots for this week’s Sooners in the NFL was former running back Rhamondre Stevenson. After fumble issues earlier in the season, the Patriots made it clear they were prepared to fully split running back carries and start Antonio Gibson. Nothing was stopping Stevenson on the field today, though, and he forced New England’s hand. Stevenson rushed 12 times for 89 yards and a touchdown. His lone score came on a physical 33-yard sprint to the end zone.

Mark Andrews finally emerged in Baltimore’s offense as he totaled four receptions for 55 yards. Ceedee Lamb had a primetime opportunity against the Steelers, but once again couldn’t get going. It was a frustrating night for the former Oklahoma star, recording just five catches for 62 yards and a heated conversation with his quarterback.
