Bama in the NFL: Week 14 Recap

Week 14 has now left us in the dust. The playoff picture is becoming more clear and the standout stars for the season have firmly planted themselves. Lets break down how some of those standout players, that just so happened to play at Alabama, did this past weekend.

Cowboys - 30 at Lions - 44:

Jahmyr Gibbs (Lions) - 12 carries for 43 yards and three touchdowns. His line on the ground. Seven catches for another 77 yards in the air. Gibbs balled out on Thursday night. He continues to be one of the best backs in the league, if not the best back. Gibbs should continue his historic season in a huge matchup against the Rams next week.

Jameson Williams (Lions) - Seven catches for 96 yards, Williams, matched his season high in receptions from last week in this one. Williams has now proved himself to be one of the top targets in this passing attack.

Dolphins - 34 at Jets - 10: 

Tua Tagovailoa (Dolphins) - 13/21 for 127 yards and a touchdown. It was a modest game for him and another matchup where the ground game was the main driver for this offense, leading to a less taxing workload for this QB.

Jaylen Waddle (Dolphins) - Five catches for 50 yards and a touchdown. It was the Bama connection from Tagovailoa to Waddle that got the lone through the air touchdown for this offense in this game. Waddle remains the main target in this passing attack with Hill continuing to be out.

John Metchie III (Jets) - Four catches for 34 yards, it was a tough day for this offense and Metchie remains one of the bright spots in it. Look for him to continue with his opportunities going forward.

Steelers - 27 at Ravens - 22: 

Derrick Henry (Ravens) - 25 touches for 94 yards. It was a modest day for Henry against one of the best run defenses in the league. Henry should be able to get going as usual through the remainder of the season against a favorable remaining schedule.

Player of the Week: Jahmyr Gibbs 

That does it for the week 14 recap. Check back Thursday for the week 15 outlook.
