Pokes in the NFL: Week 5
STILLWATER -- It was a good week of action for some of the former Oklahoma State football players currently in the NFL. We're still in week 5 as the Buffalo Bills and Tennessee Titans are playing Tuesday night due to COVID-19 precautions, but seeing as there are no Pokes on those teams, we're going to take a look at this past weekend's action.
We're going to start with one of the more lopsided wins of the weekend, Miami's 43-17 win over San Francisco. Defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah had a solid performance against the 49ers as he recorded three total tackles, one sack, one tackle for loss, one pass break up and one quarterback hit.
With the win, the Dolphins move to 2-3 on the season and will face the 0-5 Jets this coming Sunday. Kickoff is scheduled for 3:05 p.m. on CBS.
Next on the list was a 27-26 Seattle Seahawks win over Minnesota. Running back Chris Carson finished the day with eight carries for 52 yards and one impressive 29-yard touchdown carry.
Chris Carson will NOT go down.
