HOUSTON -- With 10 alums on NFL rosters, the #HTownTakeover is well represented across the league and four active alums were in action in the eighth week of NFL action. Take a look around the league to see how they performed...
Kenneth Farrow had three rushing attempts for 12 yards in a 27-19 loss to the Broncos. Farrow has had multiple rushing attempts in each of the last three San Diego games. The Chargers look to rebound Sunday when they host Tennessee.
Nolan Frese had seven snaps in a 25-20 loss to the Saints. The Seahawks move to 4-2-1 but maintain first place in the NFC West.
D.J Hayden recorded four tackles and two pass breakups in a 30-24 win over Tampa Bay. The Raiders move to 6-2 and return home to face the Broncos with the AFC West division lead on the line.
Case Keenum was honored in Houston during his bye week. Fans at TDECU Stadium gave the Rams' quarterback a standing ovation as Keenum's number seven jersey was retired. The Rams return to action against the Panthers Sunday.
Thanks for everything, @casekeenum7. Proud to call you a Cougar. #GoCoogs pic.twitter.com/JL8fgbGL1o

Elandon Roberts recorded five tackles as New England handled Buffalo 41-25. With the recent trade of linebacker Jamie Collins, Roberts is the perceived favorite to take over his starting role. The Patriots have a bye in week nine.
You want to watch an exciting young player, watch #Patriots rookie LB #52 Elandon Roberts. I'll just leave that right there...
