Lindsay's Second TD In As Many Games Highlights #NFLBuffs

September 22, 2021 | Football

Phillip Lindsay had his second touchdown in as many weeks, Chidobe Awuzie showed up on a few big plays and Nate Solder played every offensive snap for the Giants headlining Buffs in the NFL for the second week of the season.  

Here's a look at how all the Buffs in the NFL fared in Week 2: 

Chidobe Awuzie, CB, Bengals: 
Awuzie proved his defensive value to the Bengals again as he played in all 65 defensive snaps and saw some special teams action in the Bengals 20-17 loss to the Chicago Bears on Sunday. He recorded two solo tackles and had one pass breakup in the endzone. 

Mason Crosby, K, Packers:
Crosby went 5-of-5 on extra points in the Packers 35-17 victory over the Detroit Lions on Monday Night Football. 

Phillip Lindsay, RB, Texans
Lindsay featured more as a receiver out of the backfield this week as he made a big 22-yard catch for a touchdown on a screen pass, finding the endzone for the second week in a row. Lindsay made two Browns defenders fall over in the open field on his way to the endzone. 

Isaiah Oliver, CB, Falcons:
Oliver had three tackles and one pass deflection in the Falcons 48-25 loss to the defending Super Bowl Champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Oliver has seven tackles in two games with that pass deflection. 

Laviska Shenault Jr. WR, Jaguars:
Shenault had two catches and exited the game early due to injury in the Jaguars' loss to the Denver Broncos.  The injury is not considered serious as the MRI came back negative on Monday.  He's considered day-to-day this week. 

Nate Solder, OT, Giants:
The 10-year veteran played in all 69 offensive snaps and on special teams in the Giants 30-29 loss to the Washington Football Team Thursday night. He matched up against one of the game's best stars in Chase Young but held his own.  

Davion Taylor, LB, Eagles
Taylor played in the Eagles 17-11 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, seeing his first action of the season.  He recorded two tackles.  

Josh Tupou, DT, Bengals
Tupou played in 23 defensive snaps in the Bengals 20-17 loss to the Bears on Sunday and came up with one tackle. 

Ahkello Witherspoon, CB, Steelers:
Witherspoon played on defense and special teams in the Steelers' 26-17 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders.  

David Bahtairi (Packers, PUP list), Ken Crawley (Saints, IR), Daniel Munyer (Titans, IR), and Jimmy Smith (Ravens) are all nursing injuries early in the season while Kabion Ento (Packers), Arlington Hambright (Bears), Steven Montez (Lions), Will Sherman (Patriots) and Juwann Winfree (Packers) remain on their respective teams practice squad.
