Pokes in the NFL: Week 8
STILLWATER -- Another week of NFL action has come and gone and with it, Emmanuel Ogbah records another sack. At this point, I'm not sure we should even be surprised. Less than halfway through the season, Ogbah is having one of the best seasons of his career and is on pace to having the best season of his career.
Through eight games, he's recorded 21 total tackles, 11 of which have been solo stops, as well as six sacks and two pass break ups. His six sacks mark a career-high.
While he wasn't tops in tackles, Ogbah was electric on Sunday in the 28-17 win over the Los Angeles Rams as he recorded one sack, one tackle for loss, one pass break up and one quarterback hit. His one sack also led to a 78-yard touchdown.

Tyreek Hill was electric in the Chief's 35-9 win over the New York Jets this past weekend. He finished the day with four receptions for 98 yards and two touchdowns. Hill also tied Randy moss for most touchdown receptions for 40+ yards on Sunday with he hauled in a 41-yarder from Patrick Mahomes.
He also hauled in this impressive 36-yarder and had a little fun with the fans at the end of the play.
The fake punt pays off.@PatrickMahomes to @Cheetah for the 36-yard TD!
