It was a big week for Oklahoma’s NFL stars — starting at the quarterback position. The Sooners were once again very well represented, as Baker Mayfield, Jalen Hurts and Kyler Murray all put up eye popping stat lines. Caleb Williams and Spencer Rattler both took starting snaps, too. For a full recap on the quarterbacks position, read more here.

Oklahoma’s skill position guys found the end zone a good bit on Sunday, starting with Dallas’ star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb. Lamb has been relatively quiet for his standards, but had a breakout performance in primetime.

Dallas couldn’t overcome a deficit and lost 30-24 to San Francisco, but Lamb did more than his part. He caught 13 of his 17 targets for 146 yards and two touchdowns. Lamb’s longest reception came on a 29-yard strike from Dak Prescott. For Lamb, it marks his first game over the century mark this year for a season total of 613 yards and four touchdowns.

Mark Andrews made a splash once again, too. After a quiet start to the season, the former Sooner tight end joined the festivities on National Tight Ends Day and now has four touchdowns in his last three games. On Sunday, he hauled in five receptions for 36 yards and a score. He now has 263 yards and four touchdowns on the season.

Former Oklahoma running back Joe Mixon continued his stretch as one of the most efficient running backs in the NFL. Houston trusted him with a heavy work load and he delivered once again. Mixon turned his 25 rushes into 102 yards and one touchdown. He also did damage through the air, catching four passes for 32 yards. He’s now up to 503 yards and five scores on the season, averaging 100.6 rushing yards per game.

Joining Mixon in the touchdown party was Rhamondre Stevenson. The Oklahoma product was quiet for most of the game, but converted on New England’s biggest plays to take down division rival Jets. He rushed for 48 yards and two touchdowns on Sunday.
