HOUSTON -- With 10 alums on NFL rosters, the #HTownTakeover is well represented across the league and four active alums were in action in the ninth week of NFL action. Take a look around the league to see how they performed...
Kenneth Farrow had four rushes for 15 yards and a reception for four yards as the Chargers got the 43-35 over the Titans. The reception was Farrow's first career reception on the NFL level. The Chargers host Miami Sunday. The injury of Dexter McCluster has thrust Farrow into the primary backup role on the depth chart. The Chargers host Miami Sunday.
Nolan Frese had nine snaps in Seattle's 11th-straight Monday night victory. The 31-25 victory over the Bills is their fifth on the season. The Seahawks travel to New England for a Sunday night showdown against the Patriots.
D.J Hayden had two tackles and one pass breakup as the Raiders continue to impress with a 30-20 win over Denver. Hayden started at cornerback for the Raiders, sliding over from the nickel position he had played for the majority of the year, with an injury to Sean Smith. Oakland maintains first place in the AFC West and is off to its best start in 15 years. The Raiders have a bye week before hosting the Texans.
Case Keenum and the Rams fell short for the fourth consecutive week in a 12-10 loss to Carolina. Keenum went 27-46 for 296 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. The Rams scored their first touchdown in over 115 minutes. They look to get on the right track against the Jets next Sunday.
