HOUSTON -- With 10 alums on NFL rosters, the #HTownTakeover is well represented across the league and all five active players were on the field for the second week of action. Take a look around the league to see how they performed...
Kenneth Farrow received his first regular season carries this week against the Jaguars in the Chargers 38-14 win. He rushed for 13 yards on four attempts while pulling in one reception for no gain. With the Chargers losing Danny Woodhead for the season due to a knee injury, Farrow will look to battle three-year veteran Andre Williams to backup starting running back Melvin Gordon.
Nolan Frese completed seven long snaps for punts and one field goal snap in a 9-3 loss to Los Angeles.
D.J Hayden recorded two tackles in Oakland's 35-28 loss to the Falcons.
Case Keenum and the Rams got their first win of the season, and their first in Los Angeles, with a hard fought 9-3 win over Seattle. Keenum completed 18-of-30 passes for 239 yards. He also managed five rushing yards on three attempts.
With the Patriots' starting linebacker Dont'a Hightower out, Elandon Roberts took advantage of playing time and recorded his first official tackle in New England's 31-24 win over Miami. Roberts was also named a Patriots Practice Player of the Week.
