How former Oregon Ducks performed in NFL Week 10 games
10 weeks of NFL action have come and gone, and plenty of former Oregon Ducks are still contributing across the league.
It was another disappointing performance from Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert, who threw one touchdown and one interception in a loss to the Vikings. He was excellent in Week 9 but has been otherwise pretty pedestrian over the last month.
Hopefully he’ll regain his form over the final six weeks of the NFL season and remind folks why he is among the most exciting young quarterbacks in the league.
The other big story was the scary injury to veteran cornerback Troy Hill, who had to be carted off the field and immobilized with a neck injury. The Cleveland star has reportedly been sent home from the hospital with a neck strain, avoiding what could have been a career-ending, and life-altering, injury.

Herbert struggled again in Week 10, his third game in the last month with the same number of touchdown passes (1) as interceptions. He still boasts a nice 19:7 TD:int ratio on the year, but the Chargers dropped to 5-4 on the year with the loss to Minnesota.
