As the NFL calendar moves into Week 4, we’re looking back at the most impactful #ProJackets from last week.
Former Tech K Harrison Butker returned to Atlanta to lead the Chiefs to a 3-0 record with a win over the Falcons on Sunday Night Football at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Butker had another strong game, making all three of his field goal attempts to improve to 7-7 on the season. Butker made a 53-yard field goal on Sunday night, a season-high. The field goal marked Butker’s ninth consecutive field goal attempt of 50 yards or more.
Former Tech running back Jordan Mason was once again a key player for the 49ers in San Francisco’s loss to the Rams in Week 3, rushing for 77 yards on 19 carries. Mason led the NFL in carries (67) and is second only to Saquon Barkley in rushing yards (324) this season. Mason’s 108.0 yards per game are second-best in the NFL, and his 16 total first downs are second in the league, behind only Alvin Kamara.
Former Tech DE Keion White has continued his strong season, recording six tackles (five solo) and two quarterback hits in the Patriots’ loss to the Jets. Though he didn’t record a sack in Thursday’s game, his 4.0 sacks this season are third in the NFL behind Aidan Hutchinson and Will McDonald IV.
