HOUSTON -- With 13 alums on NFL rosters in the second week of NFL action, the #HTownTakeover is well represented across the league. Take a look around the league to see how they performed...
Baltimore's Tyus Bowser was disruptive defensively on Sunday in a 24-10 win against the Browns, recording two total tackles, a sack and the first interception of his young NFL career. Bowser's interception set up a touchdown pass from Joe Flacco to Jeremy Maclin before halftime, giving the Ravens a 21-7 lead at that point in the game.
Los Angeles' Kenneth Farrow is beginning the season on the Injured/Reserve list due to an ankle injury.
Detroit's D.J. Hayden defended one pass in a Monday night defensive shutdown of the Giants, winning the game 24-10.
Cincinnati's William Jackson III recorded one total tackle in the defensive showdown against the Texans, a 13-9 loss.
Minnesota's Case Keenum started his first game of the 2017 season in place of an injured Sam Bradford, completing 20-of-37 passes for 167 yards in a 26-9 loss to the Steelers.
New England's Elandon Roberts was a tackling machine in 36-20 win against the Saints, recording eight combined tackles (seven total and one assisted).
Cleveland's Howard Wilson has been sidelined since the beginning of rookie camp with a broken kneecap and is currently on the Browns' Physically Unable to Perform list. Wilson was able to avoid surgery, and a midseason return is possible.
