Gators in the NFL: Week 7

In case you missed it, Marco Wilson took flight in New Orleans.
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Week seven of the NFL season has come and gone as a Gator defensive back made an unforgettable play.

Defensive Highlights
Cardinals cornerback Marco Wilson can fly. You've seen the clip by now – the end zone flip heard 'round the world. In a video viewed millions of times across social media, Wilson dove head-first into the endzone after intercepting a pass from Saints quarterback Andy Dalton.

The ball was tipped, Wilson nabbed it and ran all the way home 38 yards for the pick six.
The pick was the first of Wilson's career, and one he'll surely never forget. The internet certainly won't.
  Wilson's big play proved to be the difference in a 42-34 Cardinals win on Thursday Night Football.

To the defensive line where Browns defensive tackle Taven Bryan had a career day. Bryan was in Baltimore's backfield all afternoon long, tallying a tackle for loss, sack and a quarterback hit while generating several pressures. The sack was Bryan's first as a Brown as he continues an impressive career renaissance in Cleveland.

Offensive Highlights
After a week off on Bye, Houston Texans running back Dameon Pierce picked up right where he left off. For the fourth consecutive week, Pierce totaled over 100 yards from scrimmage. He's one of just five rookies to accomplish this since 2000. On Sunday, Pierce lugged the rock as Houston's bell-cow 20 times for 92 yards and added 25 yards on four receptions. He's giving Texans fans and fantasy owners plenty to be excited about week-in and week-out.

In the month of October, Pierce is third in the league in rush yards per game, averaging 107.3 yards per outing. Pierce's 506 rushing yards this season ranks sixth in the league and first among rookies.

Pierce is quickly blossoming into a star before our very eyes.
