GAINESVILLE, Fla. - Week 14 didn't disappoint for the Gators. This week's edition features a new Gator offensive tackle tandem, another C.J. Gardner-Johnson Int and a career first for a former Gator hero.
Each week of the season, FloridaGators.com will cover all of the best moments from the NFL stars who made a name for themselves in Gainesville. Here is how the Orange and Blue fared in Week 14 of NFL play:
C.J. Gardner-Johnson snagged his third interception Sunday, making the most of an overthrown ball. Gardner-Johnson also racked up six tackles (three solo) and two PBUs in the win.
Most Gator fans will remember him for his game sealing interception against Utah in 2022, but Raiders linebacker Amari Burney just had a stellar Sunday, notching his first career sack and forced fumble against Tampa Bay.

Amari Burney forces a fumble for the first time in his NFL career, a few miles down the road from his hometown of St. Petersburg, Florida.
