Gators In The NFL: Week 6
Monday, October 18, 2021 | Football
GAINESVILLE, Fla -- Week six of the NFL has come and gone and one young Gator defender continues to impress.
Defensive Highlights
Houston Texans second-year pass rusher Jonathan Greenard is only getting better. Greenard packed the stat sheet Sunday, recording a career-high two sacks to go along with two tackles for loss and three quarterback hits.
He has a team-leading four sacks this season. He's appeared in just four games.
"He's becoming one of those guys who every week has to be accounted for," said Texans head coach David Culley.
Greenard is quickly becoming the sack artist that made him so popular in Gainesville.
Offensive Highlights
On the offensive side, Kansas City Chiefs wideout Demarcus Robinson put the game on ice. Robinson's 24-yard touchdown grab put the Chiefs up three scores late in the fourth quarter in a 31-13 win over Washington. Robinson finished with three receptions for 46 yards and the one score.
Special Teams Highlights
Bengals rookie kicker Evan McPherson bounced back against Detroit. McPherson was perfect on the day, going 4-for-4 on extra points and 2-for-2 on field goals, connecting from 38 and 40 yards away. McPherson has not missed from less than 40 this season.
