KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – It proved to be another productive week for former Tennessee football players around the league as week seven of NFL games concluded on Monday night.
Rookie wide receiver Jalin Hyatt earned his first-career start and helped propel the New York Giants to a 14-7 victory over the Washington Commanders. Hyatt tallied two catches for 75 yards during the low-scoring matchup, including a 42-yard grab down the right sideline early in the fourth quarter.
Los Angeles Chargers wideout Joshua Palmer also had an impressive outing, recording two season-highs during the Chargers’ contest against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Palmer finished with five catches for 133 yards, marking his second career 100-yard receiving game, and added a career-long 60-yard reception.
Alvin Kamara continued to put up numbers in his fourth game back for the Saints. The dual-threat running back registered 17 carries for 62 yards and 12 catches for a season-high 91 yards during New Orleans’ 31-24 loss to the Jaguars.
Cordarrelle Patterson had his best game of the season for Atlanta, notching a season-high 10 rushes for 56 yards while also returning one kickoff for 25 yards during the Falcons’ 16-13 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
On the defensive side of the ball, Seahawks’ defensive end Darell Taylor had a breakout game in the team’s 20-10 win over Arizona. Taylor totaled three tackles, two quarterback hits, 1.5 sacks, another tackle for loss and one pass breakup on the day.
