How former Oregon Ducks performed in NFL Week 11 games
It was another solid week for the many Oregon Ducks alumni who suited up in the NFL during Week 11 action.
Quarterback Justin Herbert rebounded from a tough week to post an excellent line in LA’s game against Pittsburgh, throwing for 382 yards and three touchdowns in the victory.
Terrance Mitchell recorded his first interception of the season in a nice night for Houston, while tight end Pharaoh Brown returned after a month on the shelf to haul in two receptions as well.
The Browns were without veteran cornerback Troy Hill, who suffered a scary neck injury last week and had to be carted off to a hospital. Duck fans also didn’t get a chance to see Marcus Mariota for the Raiders, Juwan Johnson for the Saints or Royce Freeman in his new digs in Houston.
Freeman will hopefully get a chance to suit up soon, especially now that Houston cut Phillip Lindsey, his former tandem partner in Denver.
